Edmonton Oilers 2024 NHL Draft Recap

1st Round (32nd Pick):

The Edmonton Oilers traded a first-round pick in 2025 or 2026 to the Flyers in exchange for the 32nd pick of the 2024 NHL Draft. With this pick, they selected Sam O’Reilly from the London Knights. Sam is a great pick for the Oilers. He is a big riser and a good winger, and I believe he has the potential to be in the top six and has room to grow even further. Below are his stats from this past season in the OHL:

EDM’s 32nd pick Sam O’Reilly scored 20G, 36A — 56 PTS in 68 games with London.

Put up 12 PTS in 16 playoff games.

Right shot. Right Wing. #Oilers
