2006–07 Edmonton Oilers season

The 2006–07 Edmonton Oilers season began on October 5, 2006. It was the Oilers' 34th season, 27th in the NHL. After making it to the 2006 Stanley Cup Finals, the club had a disappointing season, finishing out of the playoffs.
Prior to the season the club experience the stunning loss of star defenceman Chris Pronger. After helping the Oilers to the Stanley Cup final in the 2005–06 season, Pronger requested a trade due to personal reasons. In early July, Pronger was sent to the Anaheim Ducks for Joffrey Lupul, Ladislav Smid and various draft picks.Edmonton deals Pronger to Anaheim, tsn.ca, July 3, 2006, accessed March 11, 2007.
Not only did Pronger leave, but another major acquisition from the previous season, Michael Peca, was signed by the Toronto Maple Leafs as a free agent. Despite the losses in personnel, the Oilers had a very strong start to the season, briefly propelling them to the top of the Northwest Division standings. The Oilers would slowly fall back of the pack however, finding themselves well out of a playoff spot by the trade deadline.
At the deadline, the Oilers again stunned the NHL by trading their leading scorer, and pending Unrestricted Free Agent, Ryan Smyth to the New York Islanders for two prospects and a first round draft pick.Oilers trade forward Smyth to Islanders, tsn.ca, February 28, 2007, accessed March 11, 2007 Reports later indicated that Smyth and the Oilers were only $100,000 apart in contract negotiations when the Oilers chose to make the trade.Ryan Smyth: $100,000 Difference Led to Deal to Isles, yahoo.com, March 2, 2007, accessed March 11, 2007.
On the same night as the Smyth trade, the Oilers retired former captain Mark Messier's #11 sweater. The celebration of Messier also included having a street named after him in Edmonton. Oilers General Manager, and Messier's former teammate, Kevin Lowe was noticeably absent from the retirement ceremony. Messier won five Stanley Cups with the Oilers during his time in Edmonton.Messier has No. 11 sweater retired by Oilers, ctv.ca, February 27, 2007, accessed March 11, 2007.
The Oilers set new marks in this season for both success and failure.

In May 2007, Daryl Katz offered $145 million towards the purchase of the team.

The Oilers were eliminated from playoff contention for the third time in their last five seasons. With the Carolina Hurricanes also failing to qualify for the post-season, it marked the first time in NHL history that the previous season's finalists both failed to qualify for the playoffs.Staples, David, Cup finals one year, miss playoffs the next, Edmonton Journal, April 6, 2007
