		The Oilers made a name for themselves very early, making the Stanley Cup Playoffs in their first NHL season (1979-80), but were defeated by the Philadelphia Flyers three-games-to-none.
		The Oilers traded the 1989 pick (Jason Miller) to the New Jersey Devils for defenceman Corey Foster, then used the '91 and '93 picks to select Martin Rucinsky and Nick Stajduhar, respectively, neither of whom were major contributors during their time in Edmonton.
		Though Edmonton would lose to the defending Cup Champs, Patrick Roy and the Colorado Avalanche, in the next round, fans were ecstatic about the Oilers' return to the playoffs.

	Edmonton Oilers - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Many experts consider the Oilers of the 1980s not only to be the best team ever in the long history of the NHL, but also consider them to be one of the best sports teams ever, as evidenced by a recent Sporting News poll in February of 2006.
		The Oilers traded the 1989 pick, Jason Miller, to New Jersey for defenceman Corey Foster, then used the '91 and '93 picks to select Martin Rucinsky and Nick Stajduhar, respectively, neither of whom were major contributors during their time in Edmonton.
		The 1989 season was a troubled one, and for the first time since 1982, the Oilers were out of the playoffs in the first round, losing a seven-game series to Gretzky's Kings; the Cup was ultimately claimed by their bitter rivals, the Flames.

	INSIDE HOCKEY: "Glory Days Return For Oilers" by Alan Zoll (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		With the relatively recent change in team management, the hiring of Oilers’ veterans Kevin Lowe and Craig MacTavish, the Oilers look like they’re finally ready to admit their glory days were in fact “that long ago” and honor them for what they were, arguably the most exciting period of hockey ever played.
		That Oilers’ team barely made the playoffs and was summarily bounced in the first round, but Lowe was moved up to general manager and brought in former teammate Craig MacTavish to fill his spot behind the bench.
		To get Pronger, the Oilers had to send three defensemen to the St. Louis Blues, a damaging blow one would think, but only one of those defenders was a significant part of their starting rotation.
