Sam Gagner’s rookie season would see him score 49 Points, which would be the highest total he would ever accumulate in the National Hockey League.  While Gagner never beat that total, he came close often, as the Center would have at least 41 Points the next four years.  Gagner was a solid two-way player and was a good player who never received a lot of attention due to playing on mediocre Oilers teams.  He was traded to the Tampa Bay Lightning in June of 2014.

Dave Semenko is one of the hardest ones to rank, as there is no better example of where statistics don't tell the whole story.

The Houston Aeros would draft Dave Semenko in 1978, but his rights were traded to the Edmonton Oilers before he would ever play a game in Texas.  Semenko was strong and physical, and when they traded for Wayne Gretzky the following year, his role was clearly defined: Protect Wayne Gretzky.

Jason Smith was the Edmonton Oilers Team Captain when they made their unexpected run to the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals, and we think that is certainly worth something!

Steve Staios signed with the Edmonton Oilers in 2001 after playing six seasons in the NHL.  Staios was a defensive stalwart who stayed firmly in his own end of the ice, and Edmonton would hold on to him for eight seasons.  Staios would manage three straight years where he had over 25 Points (2002-03, 2003-04 & 2005-06), and was a member of the Oilers’ shocking 2006 Stanley Cup Final appearance.
