Trades
The 2005-06 Edmonton Oilers season was the Oilers' 27th season in the NHL, and they were coming off a 36-29-12-5 record with 89 points and finishing 9th in the Western Conference in 2003-04 and missed the playoffs. In 2005-06, the Oilers qualified for the playoffs in eighth place, and put on a playoff run that brought them to the Stanley Cup Final finishing with a loss in Game 7 to the victorious Carolina Hurricanes by a score of 3-1. This was the first time an eighth seeded team reached the Stanley Cup finals (which was repeated in 2012 and 2017).
