One of the best blueliners ever to come out of Finland, Janne Niinamaa, would spend six and a half seasons with the Edmonton Oilers (1998-03).

Drafted 1st Overall by the Edmonton Oilers in 2011, Ryan Nugent-Hopkins had a great rookie campaign where he scored 52 Points and finished second for Calder Trophy voting.  Injuries took him out of half of his second season, but he would follow that up with back-to-back 56 Point years in 2013-14 & 2014-15.  He dipped below the 50 Point threshold and had his best statistical season last year (2018-19) with career-highs of 28 Goals, 41 Assists, and 69 Points.  Nugent-Hopkins followed up with his second straight 60 Point year with 61.

Blair MacDonald made his pro debut with the Edmonton Oilers in the 1973-74 Season where he had 45 points in his rookie season.  He would exceed by one point as a sophomore, but the Oilers traded him the Indianapolis, though that stay in Indiana would be short-lived.

22. Taylor Hall

Taylor Hall was drafted first overall in 2010 and would score 42 Points in his rookie year.  The Left Wing’s numbers would increase with a 53 and 50 Point campaigns, but he would then secure his best number as an Oiler with an 80 Point year that would see him finish sixth in that stat.  Hall would play two more seasons in Edmonton, scoring 65 Points in 2015-16 and would go to his first All-Star Game that year.
