The Edmonton Oilers have done well drafting in the first round and a good percentage of their team is made up of players they drafted. That is how championship teams are built and the Oilers are close. They own the 29th overall pick in the 2022 NHL Draft, so let’s rank the first-round draft picks over the past 10 years.
Multiple sources around the Edmonton Oilers feel the time has come with Jesse Puljujarvi and the team. Both sides gave it two shots and even different management and linemates couldn’t turn things around. Things sometimes just play out this way as a change in scenery is needed for some players.
Ken Holland wants to keep Evander Kane with the Oilers but that won't be an easy task.
