EDMONTON, AB - The 2016-17 NHL season has always been the benchmark for the current Oilers core that includes left-winger Milan Lucic.
A first playoff appearance for the Oilers in a decade, coming one game from a trip to the Western Conference Final, and a strong individual season from Lucic and his counterparts set the standard for the Oilers and the 30-year-old Vancouver, BC product.
As the team performed, individuals performed.
