The Edmonton Oilers had 11 picks in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft in Los Angeles. The most notable was Taylor Hall, their first overall pick, who was supposed to spark the rebuild and elevate the Oilers to the next level.
On this day in 2014, the Edmonton Oilers acquired forward Matt Hendricks from the Nashville Predators in exchange for goaltender Devan Dubnyk. The trade for the Oilers meant a bit of change for the organization, at least in the eyes of Oilers general manager Craig MacTavish.
