Last season the Oilers would make it to the Western Conference Finals led by the play of Oilers captain Connor Mcdavid but would fall short to the stacked Colorado Avalanche roster.

Right now the Edmonton Oilers are currently struggling to keep their roster together being reportedly $6,000,000 dollars over the salary cap, and needing to make three more signings to have a full roster heading into next season.
