The Edmonton Oilers boast a rich history filled with legendary players and memorable moments, and their all-time goal-scoring leaderboard is a testament to the offensive firepower that has graced the ice in Oil Country. Topping the list, as expected, is "The Great One," Wayne Gretzky, with an astonishing 583 goals scored in an Oilers uniform. Gretzky's dominance during his time in Edmonton is unparalleled, and his scoring record may remain untouched for generations to come.

Following Gretzky is Jari Kurri, Gretzky's linemate, with 474 goals. Kurri's offensive prowess and chemistry with Gretzky made them one of the most dangerous duos in NHL history. Glenn Anderson ranks third with 417 goals, another integral part of the Oilers' dynasty years in the 1980s. Mark Messier, the heart and soul of the Oilers, comes in at fourth with 392 goals. Messier's leadership and scoring ability were crucial to the team's success.

In fifth place is Leon Draisaitl with 399 goals, showcasing his impact on the team. Draisaitl is still actively adding to his total and has the potential to climb even higher on this list. Connor McDavid is sixth with 361 goals, and like Draisaitl, is actively padding his stats. McDavid's exceptional skill and speed make him a constant threat to score, and he is on track to become one of the highest-scoring Oilers of all time.

Ryan Smyth, known for his grit and determination, is seventh with 296 goals. Smyth's hard work in front of the net made him a fan favorite and a reliable scorer. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins currently sits at eighth with 271 goals and continues to be a key contributor to the Oilers' offense. Paul Coffey, a dynamic offensive defenseman, is ninth with 209 goals. Coffey's offensive talent from the blue line added another dimension to the Oilers' attack. Rounding out the top 10 is Craig Simpson with 185 goals.

Beyond the top 10, the list includes Esa Tikkanen (178), Jordan Eberle (165), Shawn Horcoff (162), Doug Weight (157), Craig MacTavish (155), Ales Hemsky (142), Todd Marchant (136), Taylor Hall (132), Zach Hyman (120), and Dave Hunter (119). These players have all made significant contributions to the Oilers' offensive output throughout the years. It's worth noting that the Oilers' leaderboard is constantly evolving, with current players like Draisaitl and McDavid steadily climbing the ranks. Their continued success will undoubtedly reshape the list in the years to come.
