Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022/23 revision of our top 50 Edmonton Oilers.
As for all of our top 50 players in hockey we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Hockey League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, Edmonton made it to the Second Round of the playoffs where they were knocked out by the eventual champions, Vegas. There are no new entrants on the Top 50, but four players increased their rank.
As always, we present our top five, which saw one change:
2. Mark Messier
4. Jari Kurri
5. Paul Coffey
You can find the entire list here.
Last year, McDavid had the best season of his life, and doesn’t that say something? He won his third Hart, fifth Art Ross, sixth First Team All-Star, first Rocket Richard Award and set personal highs in Goals (64), Assists (89) and Points (153).
Leon Draisaitl continues his climb, moving from #7 to #6.
Fresh off his first 100-Point year, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins advanced to #13 from #16.
Defenseman, Darnell Nurse, moved to #20 from #24.
