The Top 15 Edmonton Oilers In Franchise History To Date

Before the NHL season gets here, I think it might be fun to look back at some of the top players in Edmonton Oilers’ history.

The Edmonton Oilers have played in 42 seasons in the NHL. They have won the Stanley Cup five times, they have been in the playoffs 23 times and they have some of the best players in NHL history in their organization, both past and present.

Today we are going to look at 15 of the best players in franchise history. This list will be growing and changing as the years go on, as right now there are three current players on the list that definitely will move up at some point depending on how things go.

Before we get started I have to mention this was not an easy list to come up with. The Oilers have such a successful past that it is hard to pick just 15 players to mention. Let me know in the comments any other players you think I missed or that should be higher on the list as at the end of the day this is just my opinion.

Okay let’s dive in with the first selection:

15 Doug Weight

Doug Weight spent nine years with the Edmonton Oilers from 1993 to 2001. During that time he played in 588 games and put up 577 points. While the team was not at its best during that time, Weight and the Oilers did go to the playoffs five times during that run, getting out of the first round twice.

Weight did not win a Stanley Cup with the Oilers but he would go on to win one with the Carolina Hurricanes in 2006.
