Oilers Lock In Murphy for Five Years

Connor Murphy’s future is locked in: he’s signed a five-year, $20.5M deal with the Oilers, averaging $4.1M annually, securing his role as a key defenseman and keeping him off the free agent market. After a solid season with 17 points in 80 games split between Chicago and Edmonton, Murphy delivered four points in 20 games post-trade and three in six playoff outings. Drafted in 2011, he’s now played over 800 regular-season games. This move follows the Oilers’ similar five-year, $20M pact with forward Jason Dickinson — signaling a clear strategy to build depth and stability for the long haul.
