Buuxi weedha soo socota: Xilli ciyaareedkii 2010-11 wuxuu muuqaal cusub u keenay safka Edmonton Oilers, markii Shawn Horcoff loo doortay inuu ku guuleysto Ethan Moreau oo ah kabtanka kooxda. Horcoff wuxuu noqday ciyaaryahanka Oilers ee ugu adeega dheer waqtigan. Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle, iyo Magnus Paajarvi-Svensson ayaa dhammaantood sameeyay NHL-kii ugu horreeyay ee kooxda. In kasta oo ay soo galeen hibooyinkooda da'da yar, Edmonton wali waxay ku heleen qeybta hoose ee darajooyinka. Isagoo isku dayaya inuu helo rajooyin qiimo leh iyo xulashooyin qorshaysan, Dustin Penner waxaa laga beddelay Oilers ilaa Los Angeles bishii Febraayo 28, 2011, iyada oo lagu beddelay Colten Teubert, oo ah xulashada wareega koowaad ee qorshaynta 2011 (oo loo adeegsaday in lagu doorto Oscar Klefbom) iyo xulashada wareega saddexaad ee shuruudda ah ee 2011
Sanadkii 2012. Dhamaadkii xilli ciyaareedkii, Oilers waxay ku jireen qeybta hoose ee darajooyinka waxayna heleen xuquuq ay ku doortaan guud ahaan doorashada koowaad ee soo socota 2011 NHL Entry Draft. Kooxda Oilers waxay u doorteen Ryan Nugent-Hopkins xulashada koowaad ee guud, oo ay weheliyaan dhowr fursadood oo kale "blue chip". Intii lagu jiray xilli ciyaareedkii 2011, kooxdu waxay mar kale sameysay dhowr dhaqdhaqaaq si ay u xoojiso weerarka iyo difaaca, iyagoo dib u helay taageerayaasha Ryan Smyth oo ka yimid Los Angeles Colin Fraser iyo doorashada wareega toddobaad. Kooxda ayaa sidoo kale la macaamiltay Anaheim Ducks si ay u hesho Andy Sutton oo loogu beddelay Kurtis Foster. Sheldon Souray, oo ciyaaray xilli ciyaareedkii 2010-11 ee American Hockey League (AHL) ee Hershey Bears, ayaa laga iibsaday sanadkii ugu dambeeyay ee qandaraaskiisa. Dhaqdhaqaaqyadan, oo ay weheliso saxiixyada Eric Belanger, Cam Barker, Ben Eager, iyo Darcy Hordichuk, ayaa beddelay muuqaalka kooxda, si loogu daro "grit iyo adkeysi". Si kastaba ha noqotee, Oilers mar kale ma awoodin inay u qalmaan playoffs-ka xilli ciyaareedkii lixaad ee isku xigta, maadaama ay ku dhammeeyeen kaalinta 14-aad ee Shirka Galbeedka.
