Must harder player to replace than Dickinson. Like this contract a lot more. Well, I did, until remembered he's 33 years old haha. 5 years eh ...

Sounds like Connor Murphy is extending with the Oilers. 5 years at 4.1m per season.
@TSNRyanRishaug
No trade for first three years then adjusts to 16 team list for remainder. Similar structure to Dickinson.
Lucky number is 5 this summer! Babcock probably will get 5 years too!

Same. Good value for Murphy now. Maybe less so at 36-38.

Yep I think it's a good deal. Gave the extra year or two to keep the cap down.
By all accounts this is a guys who is pretty dialed in on fitness and nutrition so could play well into his mid/late 30s. But honestly the last year or two of the deal are irrelevant to this team.
Now Kapanen..

Yeah, last year or 2 might be meh, but with the push to move Nurse, definitely a player we had to try to keep. I can't see us replacing Murphy as a solid 2nd pair defensive guy for less than 4.1.
