You could say that the Edmonton Oilers won the 2016 NHL Entry Draft. Sure, we are still waiting on that number one defenseman, but the Oilers got to select Jesse Puljujärvi fourth-overall, as well as some decent picks to follow.
Here’s a list of all the Oilers draft picks, and how they stack up.
Tyler Benson, LW, 32nd Overall
The Oilers went with Benson, a left-winger from the WHL’s Vancouver Giants. He has 73 points (29 G, 44 A) in 99 WHL games. This past season, he finished with an impressive 28 points (nine goals, 19 A) in 30 games.
