The Top Five Left Wingers In Edmonton Oilers Franchise History

4. Taylor Hall

You’d be hard pressed to find a player in Oilers history who has a fanbase more divided on his legacy with the team. He has his group of supporters who loved his talent level and believe team management failed him, while many others believe he was selfish and didn’t care about team success. Regardless of your opinion, he had plenty of good seasons on some horrible teams.

When Hall was taken first overall in 2010, Oilers fans thought he was going to be the player to turn their franchise around and get them back to their old winning ways. Unfortunately, that turned out to be not even close to the case, as they continued to struggle for years after drafting him and ended up trading him ahead of the 2016-17 season in exchange for Adam Larsson.

His best season in Edmonton came in 2013-14 where he recorded 80 points in 75 contests. Over his entire Oilers career he put up 132 goals and 328 points in 381 games. Since moving on, he has continued to have personal success, capped off with winning the Hart Trophy in 2017-18, but very limited team success. That may soon change however as he was able to sign a long-term deal with a very good Boston Bruins team in hopes of chasing down his first ever Stanley Cup.
