Oilers Acquire Defenceman Murphy From Blackhawks: TSN
Chicago Blackhawks trade veteran defenseman Connor Murphy to Edmonton Oilers for 2028 second-round pick while retaining 50% of his $4.4 million salary-cap hit.
- Frank Seravalli reported Monday that the Chicago Blackhawks traded defenseman Connor Murphy to the Edmonton Oilers for a 2028 second-round pick, retaining 50% of his $4.4 million 2025-26 salary.
- As the Hawks shift to a younger lineup, Connor Murphy's average ice time fell to 16:34 and he is a pending unrestricted free agent amid several promising defensemen.
- Edmonton expects Murphy to provide defensive stability, projecting him as a stay-at-home right-shot defender who strengthens the Oilers penalty kill and fits a $2.2M cap hit after a roster move.
- For the Hawks, Murphy's exit should free roster spots for rookies Artyom Levshunov and Sam Rinzel to play consistently down the stretch, while Chicago gains a future asset to use as a trade chip.
- Having earned over $40M in his career, Connor Murphy now has a real shot at playoff opportunity that could influence his next move or re-signing potential.
