Chalk the Edmonton Oilers 2016-217 season up as solid. After finishing the season as one of four teams in the Western Conference with over 100 points, the Oilers were matched up against the San Jose Sharks in round one, whom they beat in six games. In round two they played what was one of the best series of the playoffs against the Anaheim Ducks, with the series going the full seven games and the Ducks winning game seven to advance.

It was a good step in the right direction for a team with some of the best young talent in the game, specifically one 20-year-old center Connor McDavid, who scored 100 points a year ago, and who has MVP awards in his future. In addition to McDavid, the Oilers have other young talent as well, such as 21-year-old center Leon Draisaiti, who scored 77 points a year ago. Adding to this collection of young talent the Oilers grabbed Kailer Yamamoto in round one, a winger from Spokane of the WHL. The next step in the process says the Oilers win the West next year if not this year.

The Edmonton Oilers did not have a good 2015-2016 season, at all. The Oilers finished the season with just 70 points, giving them the worst record in the NHL. Rookie sensation Connor McDavid missed most of the season with a broken clavicle. Still, the good news is when you end up with the worst record in the league, you end up with a high draft choice. The Oilers ended up with the 4th pick overall and used it to draft Jesse Puljajarvi, a big strong fast winger from Finland. Damien Cox of Sportsnet said of Puljajarvi- "MVP at the world juniors, and better than Laine in the eyes of some. It’s going to come down to the preferences of a specific team." Well, the Oilers decided they were that team. With superstar Connor McDavid already in place, and if Puljajarvi is as good as advertised, the Oilers have the makings of an extremely bright future.

The Edmonton Oilers were founded in 1972. Since their inception, the Oilers have done nothing but win. Overall they have nine division championships to their name, the first coming in 1979. They won it all during the following seasons: 1983, 1984, 1985, 1987, 1988, 1990, 1991, and 1992. They have won the Presidents' Trophy twice in back-to-back years, 1986, and 1987. They have won their conference seven times- 1983, 1984, 1985, 1987, 1988, 1990, and 2006.

The Oilers also have five Stanley Cups to their name. They came in 1984, 1985, 1987, 1988, and 1990. So as you can see, a lot of winning, especially during the 1980s, when they were anchored by the great Wayne Gretzky, considered to be the greatest hockey player who ever lived. It wasn't just Gretzky though. Jari Kurri and Paul Coffey were also on that team, and they are two of the best players in NHL history as well.

The Oilers are in the midst of a rebuild right now, and it shows with their overall record. They finished this season with just 62 points overall, the third-lowest point total in the league. However, they have collected a bunch of good young players. One such player is Jordan Eberle, who led the team with 63 points and 24 goals this season. Another is 23-year-old left winger Taylor Hall, who had 38 points himself this season.
