The Edmonton Oilers are signing defenseman Connor Murphy to a five-year contract extension worth $4.1 million per season, the team announced Monday.
Murphy was scheduled to reach unrestricted free agency July 1. The Oilers acquired him from the Chicago Blackhawks prior to this past season's trade deadline for a second-round pick in 2028.
He notched four points in 20 games after the trade and added three points in the playoffs as the Oilers were eliminated by the Anaheim Ducks in the first round.
