Summary
The Edmonton Oilers just locked down a defensive cornerstone: 33-year-old Connor Murphy signed a five-year, $20.5M deal averaging $4.1M annually. Acquired at the trade deadline last year, Murphy delivered a playoff breakout — two goals, an assist, and 15 blocked shots in six games — while averaging over 19 minutes of ice time. A veteran with 800+ NHL games, including 9 years with Chicago, Murphy brings elite physicality (1,600+ hits and blocks) and a personal best in shorthanded time. He’s staying in Oil Country for the next five seasons — grit, experience, and reliability on the blue line. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
