On February 27th 2007 the Oilers traded their longtime fan favourite Ryan Smith.

They then also traded Joffery Lupul and Jason Smith on July 1st in the off-season.

Over the next season they also traded Joni Pitkanen, Raffi Torres, Matt Greene, and Jarrett Stoll.

They may not have been in the full on tank rebuild they have been in the last 5 seasons, but they certainly were trying to rebuild that team and were making wholesale changes to the roster.

Personally I would say the Oilers rebuild started on February 27th 2007.
