The 2009–10 Edmonton Oilers season was the team's 38th season of play, 31st as a member of the National Hockey League (NHL). The 2009–10 season was one of the worst in franchise history, where the Oilers finished dead last in the NHL (30th out of 30 teams). The team finished with 62 points, which was the second-lowest point total in franchise history (the lowest point total was 60 points obtained back in 1992–93). However, despite the misery endured that season, the Oilers were compensated on April 13, 2010, when they won the 2010 NHL Draft Lottery to pick first overall for the first time in franchise history.
