🚨 BREAKING NEWS 🚨
The Edmonton Oilers have acquired defenceman Connor Murphy from the Chicago Blackhawks in exchange for a 2nd-round pick — with 50% of Murphy’s salary retained.
Tyler and Liam go live with instant reaction to the move, breaking down what Murphy brings to Edmonton’s blue line, how the cap implications work with the retention, and whether this is the defensive stabilizer the Oilers desperately needed.
Is Murphy the right fit for the top four? Does this signal more moves are coming ahead of the deadline? And was a 2nd-round pick the right price to pay?
The guys analyze how Murphy slots into the lineup immediately, what this means for the current defensive group, and whether this move changes expectations for the stretch run.
Live reaction. Roster breakdown. Cap talk. What’s next?

Finally someone worth Addiing, We need one more real gritty guy
Makes up for the jarry trade I guess W
Tyler, you’re getting pretty polished man. Good listenin
seems like we got him kinda cheep?
So you're telling me we got a solid stay at home right shot defenseman, that can play on our 2nd pairing and all we gave up was a 2028 2nd and they retained half… and Liam gave this trade a B. Trying really hard to let it slide, but c'mon man, a B?
Officially Stanley cup favourites….. lol
Chicago fan here, Connor Murphy, solid D Man, blocks shots, smart player, can play physical, great human being and great in the locker room, he will get a long standing ovation when he returns to Chicago.
You now have all Chicago fans wanting the Oilers to win that cup.
Good luck.
I knew the news would break as soon as you guys went offline lol.
Classic hockey trade, good for both teams.
Let’s trade away every draft pick we have so we can go though 20 years of darkness next time? This changes NOTHING for our team.
Still need a goalie and big tough forward
Can he make a save?
We need more than one defensive defender. Oilers still only have one scoring line! Nobody hits except Hyman. No heavy fast forecheckers!
If I challenged Murphy to an old time dance, will he face punch me quickly??? If he does – I like him! 😉 Also, dont let Nurse near him. He will destroy what confidence Murphy might have cooking!
Oilers still need some soldiers!! STILL need a top defensive center!!
Would janmark being traded be better than using his ltir?
Put Nurse on the 3rd pairing?
Get Stecher to babysit Nurse?
Let's see if he plays good normally everyone they pick up same old story yeah he's a great player then they all turn into bums
There are so many fake Oilers fans that should just go away.
we can staple nurse to the third pair now
2.2 mill but 4 times more usefull than Nurse at 9.25
Blackhawk nation says good riddance Murphy 👏👏👏👏👏
Get ready for the free fall Oiler nation. Stan Bowman is going to ruin your team like he ruined the Blackhawks Stanley Cup teams!!
put nurse on the 4th pairing
Maybe he can show us how to be a bit more defensive
We had Kulak and traded him. WTF! And I think Kulak at this stage is better. Fucking Bowman needs to go.
Any term to Murphy?
Isn't that the proposal some guy in the chat had? What does he Win???
Still have a goalie isssue, Ingram I like, pickard is better the the new guy
People are underrating Connor Murphy because he’s a Blackhawk but he’s one of the main guys cotailing in leading the hawks to the best PK unit in the league. And he can move the puck. This is such an underrated move.
Most importantly, we acquired another Connor.
I just found your show yesterday, great job fellas. Very well done!
Nice this will work out well.
Happy with this trade!
I think Samanski will stay given that he has best-on-best experience from the Olympics and also because he plays center.
Huge W. They have been talking murphy for like 2 seasons
Fantastic deal with 50% retained
How's he gonna do with coffeys system? 🤔
I like Tyler, but he needs to get humbled.
