2016–17 Edmonton Oilers season
NHL team season
The 2016–17 Edmonton Oilers season was the 38th season for the National Hockey League (NHL) franchise that was established on June 22, 1979,[ 1] and 45th season including their play in the World Hockey Association (WHA). This was the Oilers' first season of play at their new downtown arena, Rogers Place .

This season marked the first time since the 1986–87 season that the Oilers recorded 100 points in a season.

The Oilers were better than the last several seasons and were compared with the 1980s dynasty.[ 2] They started with a 7-2-0 record in October.

Draft picks
Below are the Edmonton Oilers' selections at the 2016 NHL Entry Draft , to be held on June 24–25, 2016, at the First Niagara Center in Buffalo .
Notes
[a] The Florida Panthers ' third-round pick went to the Edmonton Oilers as the result of a trade on February 27, 2016, that sent Teddy Purcell to Florida in exchange for this pick (being conditional at the time of the trade).[ 41] The condition – Edmonton will receive the lower of Minnesota or Florida's third-round pick in 2016[ 41] – was converted on April 24, 2016, when Minnesota was eliminated from the 2016 Stanley Cup playoffs ensuring that the Florida's pick would be lower than Minnesota's.
[b] The Pittsburgh Penguins ' third-round pick went to the Edmonton Oilers as the result of a trade on February 27, 2016, that sent Justin Schultz to Pittsburgh in exchange for this pick.[ 42]
The Edmonton Oilers ' fourth-round pick went to the Anaheim Ducks as the result of a trade on February 29, 2016, that sent Patrick Maroon to Edmonton in exchange for Martin Gernat and this pick.[ 43]
[c] The St. Louis Blues ' fifth-round pick went to the Edmonton Oilers as the result of a trade on February 27, 2016, that sent Anders Nilsson to St. Louis in exchange for Niklas Lundstrom and this pick.[ 44]
