2. Duncan “I hated playing against McDavid so I played with him instead” Keith

3. Why is it that Brassard is in seemingly all of these 😆

4. Is Pronger all that unusual?

5. Very interesting how most of these posts include either Jussi or Olli.

   I’m not Jokinen.

6. If Pronger is listed on here then so should Peca and Samsonov. They were there for only one season and part of the ’06 Cup run.

   Michael Peca 2005-2006: 71GP Regular Season & 24GP Playoffs

   Sergei Samsonov 2005-2006: 19GP Regular Season & 24GP Playoffs

7. Surprise Rangers legend Mark Messier isn’t on here.

8. Some love for Tugger

9. Where’s Blues legend Wayne Gretzky?

10. mike green is crazzzzzzzzzzy

11. Does this count? [Gordie Howe – 1 Game](https://i.redd.it/tk2f6akios791.jpg)

12. Cammalleri and Jokinen were traded for each other 💀

13. The jersey that Plante is wearing is sweet.

14. It was over two seasons but Bernie Nicholls was an odd one after all the LA playoff series through the eighties.

15. I absolutely don’t remember Oates as an Oiler.

    I remember Nilsson only because Hextall slashed him I the Cup Final

    I was a only kid at the time but I always wondered why Edmonton wouls trade for Damphousse then trade him a year later

16. These have been my favorite posts as of late…keep up the good work!!

17. Geoff Courtnall played only 12 regular season games with the Oilers and ended up winning a cup with them in a 5 game sweep against the team that just traded him away a couple months before.

18. Can’t wait to see the Penguins and Capitals version of unusual teams.

19. Bryzgalov is always the weird one for me.

20. Anthony Stolarz – 6 games (2018-2019)

21. Jacques Plante getting lost in Alberta and ending up on the Oilers for a spell is the most random shit

22. Yo what happened to Mike Green

23. David Perron

24. He could sign for another ten years, and seeing Corey Perry in an Oilers jersey will still be weird.

25. I had zero idea Duncan Keith played for the Oilers at one point.

    For us Canadiens fans, I would include [David Desharnais](https://vafloc02.s3.amazonaws.com/isyn/images/f177/img-2067177-f.jpg). Just doesn’t look right.

26. also joni pitkanen and lubomir visnovsky were really solid in the short time they were oilers

27. Honourable mention , Montreal Canadiens legend David Desharnais

28. Thanks for including Jacques Plante’s time with the Oilers from when they were in the WHA, that was really fascinating to see!

    On another note, I’m surprised to learn that Mike Cammalleri and Mike Green played in the NHL as recently as 2017-18 and 2019-20, respectively.

29. God, those first Reebok jerseys were so bad.

30. Those 07/08 jerseys were trash, they look like practice sweaters
