4. Jordan Eberle
Jordan Eberle is a player who never got the attention he truly deserved during his time as an Oiler due to how bad the team was. While his numbers in recent years with the New York Islanders have been solid, he had a few great years in Edmonton, none better than in 2011-12 where he put up career highs with 34 goals and 76 points in 78 games.
Eberle scored 20 or more goals in five of his seven seasons with the Oilers, and likely would have in all seven if it weren’t for a lockout-shortened season and an injury during his rookie year. He was able to finally suit up in the playoffs with the Oilers in 2016-17, but was invisible throughout their 13 games, failing to score a goal and only registering two assists. This poor performance led to him being traded that summer to the Islanders.
Eberle played in a total of 507 games with the Oilers, recording 165 goals and 382 points. He then went on to play four seasons with the Islanders before being claimed in the 2021 expansion draft by the Seattle Kraken, where he will be counted on to be one of the team’s top offensive performers.
