Welcome to my annual player review series, where I dive into the Edmonton Oilers season player-by-player. We’ll look back at the season that was, what kind of impact each player had, and what we could see from them next season. You can read about the analytics behind my analysis here.

It was a quiet 2023-24 campaign for Adam Erne, who was one of the last players to join the team. The Oilers signed him to a professional tryout, and on Oct. 13th, inked him to a one-year deal.

Erne would play in 24 games for the Oilers, spread equally from October through January, and was quite limited in work over that stretch. He would average seven and a half minutes per game at 5v5, scoring one goal and an assist. A physical presence on the ice, there wasn’t much positive that happened with him out there. The Oilers lost the 5v5 shot attempt share and expected goal share battles, but was a plus in terms of scoring chance share.

The best thing? The Oilers were even in terms of the actual goal share on the ice, which is what you’re looking for from the bottom-six group. That being said, he was edged out of the lineup and spent most of the season with the AHL’s Bakersfield Condors, scoring six goals and 12 points in 36 games.

Unsigned at this point in the summer, he’s someone who will likely be looking for a professional tryout, a minor league deal, or could be heading overseas to Europe.
