2012, 1st Overall Oilers Stats GP: 252 G: 50 A: 61 P: 111 Nail Yakupov was the third of three straight first-overall picks that the Oilers had from 2010 to 2012 and he is undoubtedly the worst. When Edmonton selected him first overall from the Sarnia Sting of the Ontario Hockey League, they thought that they were getting the next big offensive supe...
2016, 4th Overall Oilers Stats GP: 139 G: 17 A: 20 P: 37 After another year of finishing at the bottom of the league standings, the Oilers were awarded the fourth overall pick in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. Edmonton already had a good amount of talent up front so their plan was to select a defenceman with that No. 4 pick. However, plans changed after...
2019, 8th Overall Oilers Stats GP: 0 G: 0 A: 0 P: 0 Philip Broberg had a solid draft year with AIK of the Swedish Allsvenskan League recording 9 points (2 goals, 7 assists) in 41 games. His offensive numbers didn’t really jump out at you, but it was his excellent skating and playmaking ability that made him a highly ranked prospect. The Oilers like...
2018, 10th Overall Oilers Stats GP: 7 G: 1 A: 0 P: 1 Like Broberg, we haven’t seen a whole lot of Evan Bouchard at the NHL level yet. He has only played seven career games for the Oilers so far, where has one goal and zero assists. Bouchard had a monster draft year with the London Knights of the OHL that saw him put up 87 points (25 goals, 62 assis...
2017, 22nd Overall Oilers Stats GP: 47 G: 10 A: 16 P: 26 Heading into the 2017 NHL Draft, the Oilers were fresh off of their best season since the 2006 Stanley Cup run. Edmonton finished the regular season with 103 points (47-26-9), and they came within one win of reaching the Western Conference Final, but ultimately lost the to the Anaheim Ducks i...
2013, 7th Overall Oilers Stats GP: 343 G: 29 A: 85 P: 114 The Oilers were fresh off three-straight first overall picks, so when it was announced that they had the seventh overall selection in 2013, they found themselves in some unfamiliar territory. They had drafted forwards with those three first overall picks, so they decided that it was time tha...
2010, 1st Overall Oilers Stats GP: 381 G: 132 A: 196 P: 328 After finishing with a league-worst 62 points (27-47-8) the Oilers were awarded the first overall pick in the 2010 draft. Leading up to the draft it was ‘Taylor vs Tyler’ (Taylor Hall vs Tyler Seguin) but the Oilers ultimately decided to use their first overall pick to select Hall from the...
2011, 19th Overall Oilers Stats GP: 375 G: 34 A: 121 P: 155 Not only did the Oilers have the first overall selection in 2011 NHL Draft, they also had the 19th overall pick that they acquired when they traded Dustin Penner to the L.A. Kings on Feb. 28, 2011. With that pick they were able to select Oscar Klefbom from Farjestads BK Karlstad of the Swe...
2011, 1st Overall Oilers Stats GP: 597 G: 165 A: 267 P: 432 Despite selecting Hall first overall in 2010, the Oilers found themselves dead-last in the league for the second year in a row at the end of the 2010-11 season, and they were once again given the chance to select first overall at the upcoming draft. Related: Ryan Nugent-Hopkins Should Be a...
2014, 3rd Overall Oilers Stats GP: 415 G: 162 A: 249 P: 411 Other than Nugent-Hopkins, the Oilers weren’t very deep at center, so they came into the 2014 Draft with plans to address that need. They finished the 2013-14 season in 28th place with only 67 points (29-44-9) and ended up with the third overall pick and used that pick to select Leon Drais...
