2. Glenn Anderson
Though Glenn Anderson doesn’t get discussed as much as some other Oilers during their dynasty days, it doesn’t take away from the fact that he was a huge part of their success. The Hall of Famer was a fantastic goalscorer and finished with 498 tallies in his career.
Anderson spent the first 11 seasons of his career with the Oilers, two of which he scored north of 50 goals and three of which he had north of 100 points. While his regular-season numbers were fantastic, however, he was known more for elevating his game in the playoffs. Andersons 93 playoff goals and 214 playoff points both rank fourth all-time. He was also known at coming up big in clutch moments, having scored five playoff overtime goals in his career, which is good enough for fifth in league history.
Prior to the start of the 1991-92 season, the Oilers chose to trade Anderson, along with Grant Fuhr and Craig Berube to the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Vincent Damphousse, Scott Thornton, Luke Richardson, Peter Ing, and future considerations. Anderson played in three seasons with the Leafs before short stints with the New York Rangers and St. Louis Blues. He briefly returned to the Oilers during the 1995-96 season but appeared in just 17 games. His 906 points in an Oilers jersey rank him fourth all-time, while his 417 goals are second.
