List of Edmonton Oilers (WHA) players

This is a list of players who played at least one game for the Edmonton Oilers during their tenure in the World Hockey Association (WHA) from 1972 to 1979. This list includes players who participated in regular season and playoff games. It does not include coaches, general managers, or other team personnel unless they also played a game for the team.

The Edmonton Oilers joined the WHA as one of the league's original twelve franchises. Notable players during this era included Al Hamilton, a defenseman who served as the team's captain and was a cornerstone of their defense. Other key players included goaltender Dave Dryden, known for his mask and consistent play, and forwards like Bill Flett, Blair MacDonald, and later, Wayne Gretzky, though Gretzky's tenure was brief within the WHA before the Oilers joined the NHL.

The Oilers were not a dominant force in the WHA, but they steadily improved throughout their time in the league, building a foundation that would eventually lead to their dynasty years in the NHL. The WHA years were crucial for establishing the Oilers' identity and developing young talent.

A more comprehensive list of players should ideally include games played, goals, assists, points, and other relevant statistics to provide a more detailed historical record. This list is intended to be a starting point for further research into the Edmonton Oilers' WHA history.
