Edmonton Oilers - The Dynasty Years
Edmonton Oilers were officially founded in 1971. The team played its first season in 1972, as one of the twelve founding franchises of the major professional World Hockey Association. They were originally intended to be one of two WHA Alberta teams, along with the Calgary Broncos. However, when the Broncos relocated and became the Cleveland Crusaders before the WHA's first season began, the Oilers were renamed the Alberta Oilers. They returned to their current name in the following year. Although the Oilers' on-ice performance for most of the WHA's history was mediocre, they remained relatively well-supported and financially stable by WHA standards. The team's fortunes improved dramatically in 1978 when Pocklington acquired underage player Wayne Gretzky, as well as goaltender Eddie Mio and forward Peter Driscoll, for cash, from the recently folded Indianapolis Racers. 1978–79, saw the Oilers finish first in the WHA standings, posting a league-best 48–30–2 record. However, Edmonton failed to win the championship, as they fell to the Winnipeg Jets in the Avco World Trophy Final. The Oilers joined the NHL for 1979–80, along with fellow WHA teams Hartford Whalers, Quebec Nordiques, and the Jets following a merger agreement between the two leagues. The Oilers lost most of the players from 1978–79 when the NHL held a reclamation draft of players who had bolted to the upstart league as they were allowed to protect two goaltenders and two skill players. Originally, Gretzky was not eligible to be protected; under the rules of the time, he normally would have been placed in the Entry Draft pool. However, Pocklington had signed him to a 21-year personal services contract in 1979 and Pocklington used the contract to force the NHL to admit the Oilers and allow the Oilers to keep Gretzky. The 1979, 1980 and 1981 NHL Entry Drafts allowed the Oilers to put together a young, talented, experienced team very quickly. Within these three years, Sather and chief scout Barry Fraser have drafted Mark Messier, Glenn Anderson, Jari Kurri, Paul Coffey, Kevin Lowe, Grant Fuhr and Andy Moog. Founded 1972
History
WHA 1972-1979
NHL 1979-present
The Oilers are one of two NHL franchises based in Alberta, the other being the Calgary Flames. Their close proximity to each other has led to a fierce rivalry known as the Battle of Alberta.

List of Edmonton Oilers signings and trades 1981
Edmonton Oilers signs 18-year old defenceman Steve Smith. Smith was picked in the 6th Round of the 1981 NHL Entry Draft and will be assigned to Oilers IHL associate Wichita Wind. He is a two-way defenceman with good physical qualities (hitting and strength). We hope that he will develope into a future core player.
Edmonton Oilers signs 34-year old Finnish goalie Jorma Valtonen. He will be a backup goalie to Andy Moog, until 19-year old bluechipper Grant Fuhr is ready for primetime. Oilers-Flyers trade announced. Edmonton Oilers and Philadelphia Flyers have been engaged in a little wheeling and dealing. The have just concluded a trade with 22-year old right defenceman Risto Siltanen and a 12th Round Draft Pick going to Philadelphia in exchange for 23-year old center Ken Linseman. Linseman is a agitator with quality playmaking skills, he will lead Oilers 2nd line. Oilers and Rangers announce swap. The Edmonton Oilers have made a deal sending 27-year old goalie Eddie Mio and a 3rd Round Draft Pick to New York for 21-year old right defenceman Reijo Ruotsalainen. Both sides are said to be pleased with the way the trade worked out. Ruotsalainen is a offensive defenceman that will be paired with Paul Coffey in the Oilers 1st line. Edmonton Oilers and Boston Bruins have finalized a trade. The Oilers will ship 21-year old left winger, 25-year old center Matti Hagman, 28-year old left wing Brett Callighen and a 2nd Round Draft Pick to Boston in exchange Edmonton will receive 23-year old center Craig MacTavish and 21-year old left wing Mike Krushelnyski. MacTavish and Krushelnyski are grinders that will play in Oilers 3rd line. Edmonton Oilers signs 22-year old left wing Juha Nurmi. Nurmi is a natural goalscorer that has the potential to become a regular player in the NHL. He will start in the IHL with Wichita Wind. Edmonton Oilers signs 21-year old center Kari Jalonen. He has been described as a poor man's Wayne Gretzky, similar in style. A longshot prospect that will start in IHL with Wichita Wind and it's not certain that he have enough potential to make it into the NHL. Edmonton Oilers signs 22-year old defenceman Kjell Samuelsson. He is a physical Stay-at-Home Defenceman that will start in the IHL with Wichita Wind. He has the potential to develop into a good NHL player. Edmonton Oilers signs 22-year old defenceman Jukka Virtanen. He has the potential to become 6th or 7th defenceman and will start the season in IHL with Wichita Wind. Edmonton and Toronto announce deal. Edmonton Oilers will send 29-year old center Stan Weir and a 6th Round Draft Pick to Toronto for 19-year old defenceman Craig Muni. It had been talked about for the past few weeks and everything came together late last night. Craig Muni is a Stay-at-Home defencmane and have the potential to develope into a 7th defenceman in the NHL. Craig will start the season in the IHL with Wichita Wind. Oilers-Canadiens deal announced. Edmonton Oilers and Montreal Canadiens have agreed to a trade that will send 26-year old defenceman Doug Hicks to Montreal, while 18-year old right wing Mark Hunter will be shipped to Edmonton. A top front office executive with Canadiens described the trade talks as ”quick and easy.” We're glad to get this deal done.We think it's something that helps our hockey club and it didn't take too long at all to sort this one out,” he said. Mark is a promising grinder in the same mold as his brother Dave Hunter. Mark will start the season in the IHL with Wichita Wind.
