now they have two Connor m’s
Jeez I need a flow chart for these cap gymnastics!
Dude's apparently been around over a decade. Ive never even heard of him lol
When I was about 7 I attended Cub Scouts, the local scout groups made a hockey house league.
One of my teammates was Gord Murphy, solid NHL D-Man in the 90s , father of Connor Murphy.
Fun Fact : former Calgary Flames 1st round pick in 87 Bryan Deasley was also on that team..
No one cares
To the Oilers fans I am Blackhawks fan. Dude will actually defend the net decent pick up.
Someone said that the Hawks now have a team where everyone on it was either signed or drafted by Davidson. There is no more Bowman fingerprints left on the Hawks roster.
This guy has been on the block for 6 years lol
might Edmonton acquire center Laughton and goaltender Stolarz or Woll from Toronto? what would it take to pull off trade for one or both?
That’s even if Edmonton even makes it.
No health issues for Ekholm this year, he has been excellent. Murphy is the kind of addition this team needs, he can play the defensive role that the oilers need on the PK and 5on5.
Clear win-win.
Plus, Chicago's competition owns Edmonton's 1st this year.
Healthy scratch Nurse for rest of the season. Instant Stanley Cup.
Would love to see something happen goalie wise. Maybe Mcmann and a tender from the leafs?
Send Jarry to Ottawa, bring back Pickard.
Really like this trade, needed a second shut down D, needed to bolster our PK, and a RD let's us put Walman back at LD and hopefully improve him a bit.
Walman Murphy second line to give us an Ekholm Bouch like second line.
Are you dumb? Nurse with Murphy?
Ekholm bouch
Wallman Murphy
Nurse/statsney emberson
OEL is a logical fit if they can make the cap numbers work. If he could stabilize Nurse's game, then Murphy and Walman as your third pairing would be a much better balanced D core imo
Add another bottom 6th and goalie before trade deadline
