11 ex-Oilers who will be playing for new teams next season
It was a summer of change within the Edmonton Oilers organization with plenty of new faces coming in and even more familiar faces moving on.
While a lot of the focus will land on the new guys wearing Oilers’ threads for this upcoming season, including the likes of Jeff Skinner and Viktor Arvidsson, fans of the team can expect to see plenty of players from last year’s team pulling on new sweaters around the league.
Some found their way to new clubs via free agency, others were traded, and one of the players on this list opted to leave the NHL altogether for the greener pastures in Europe.
