The Oilers own the Bakersfield Condors.
If an NHL team is affiliated with an ECHL team, they do pay them a small amount weekly for that.

What is the NHL/AHL affiliate payment?
The NHL/AHL affiliate payment for 2014-15 is $525 per week. Any affiliate amount other than $525 per week agreed upon with any NHL/AHL club will be considered a salary cap violation. This includes excess payments for equipment, travel, etc.
