List of Edmonton Oilers players
The Edmonton Oilers are a franchise in the National Hockey League (NHL), based in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. They originated as one of the twelve founding franchises of the World Hockey Association (WHA) in 1972, remaining with the league until it ceased operation after the 1978–79 season. The Oilers were one of four remaining WHA franchises to be admitted to the NHL as expansion teams for the 1979–80 season. The Oilers have won the Stanley Cup five times, with 48 players winning the Cup as an Oiler. Seven players (Glenn Anderson, Grant Fuhr, Randy Gregg, Charlie  Huddy, Jari Kurri, Kevin Lowe and Mark Messier) were members of all five Cup-winning teams. Eight players from the NHL years have gone on to be elected into the Hockey Hall of Fame, most recently Chris Pronger in June 2015. Another three ex-Oilers who only played for the WHA franchise are also in the Hall of Fame. The Oilers have retired the numbers of seven players. As of the current 2019–20 season, 542 players have worn the Oilers jersey in the NHL. Sixteen of those NHL Oilers also played at least one game for the WHA Oilers. Kevin  Lowe, the Oiler's first ever NHL draft pick, is the all-time leader for both regular season (1,037) and playoff (172) games in an Oilers uniform, for an overall total of 1,209 games. There have been 24 players who have played only one game (in all cases, one regular season game) with the NHL Oilers. Goaltenders. "Note: Statistics are complete through the 2020–21 season." Skaters.
