Oilers Re-Sign Defenseman Connor Murphy to a 5-Year, $20.5 Million Contract

  • On Monday, the Edmonton Oilers signed defenseman Connor Murphy to a five-year contract extension with an annual average value of $4.1 million.
  • Acquired from the Chicago Blackhawks at last year's trade deadline, the 33-year-old veteran became a mainstay in Edmonton's defensive rotation down the stretch.
  • In 20 regular-season games with Edmonton, Murphy recorded one goal and four points while adding 15 blocked shots during the post-season.
  • The signing follows the Oilers' recent five-year extension for forward Jason Dickinson, securing both players acquired from Chicago during the previous season.
  • Oilers General Manager Stan Bowman now shifts focus to remaining unrestricted free agents, including Jack Roslovic and Kasperi Kapanen, while Murphy's contract expires when he is 38.
