The Blackhawks were off on Monday before facing the Jets on Tuesday evening in Winnipeg. One veteran defenseman won’t be in the lineup for the game — because he’s boarding a jet to Edmonton.
Veteran Connor Murphy, the longest tenured Blackhawks player, has reportedly been traded to the Oilers for Edmonton’s second-round pick in 2028. The Blackhawks are retaining half of Murphy’s $4.4M cap hit in the deal.
Edmonton GM Stan Bowman obviously acquired Murphy when he was in Chicago. Bowman just maneuvered some roster moves in the past 48 hours to create just enough cap space to accommodate this deal, which is perfectly — and predictably — on brand for Bowman to trade for a guy he’s had before.
With this move, the Blackhawks will have one remaining salary retention spot before Friday afternoon’s trade deadline.
According to Frank Seravalli, the trade call won’t be completed until later.
The Blackhawks now have three right-handed defensemen on the NHL roster: Artyom Levshunov, Sam Rinzel and Louis Crevier.
