Edmonton got active yesterday trading a 2028 second round draft choice to the Chicago Blackhawks. Kyle Davidson retaining 50% of Connor Murphy's contract. Murphy will not be in the lineup tonight for the Oilers. They host the Ottawa Senators. We've got a lot to get to. We'll hear from Chris Knobloch. We're going to run a couple clips from Stan Bowman.
How did the Oilers acquire Connor Murphy and what are the trade details?

So it is trade deadline week. We will have a trade deadline show for you Friday. Our top story for legacy heating and cooling, home and no payments and no interest for a year. That's how you build a legacy, legacy heating and cooling. The Oilers getting Connor Murphy to be a shutdown, second pairing, right shot, penalty killing, minute munching, cycle stopping defensive defenseman. They got him yesterday, 2.2 cap hit the rest of the year. Yesterday, I stated that it's my belief that I could see two more trades coming, and I'll tell you why.
Andrew Mangiapane got a shift today down in Bakersfield with the Condors. That's the rules. You got to at least suit up for one game. The Oilers protected the asset, so to speak, with Mangiapane. Edmonton, in order to create some cap flexibility, they're probably going to have to package a pick with Mangiapane, potentially take back a player and a pick, maybe a later pick from another organization, or conversely, take back a prospect, which would likely require a higher pick. So we'll see what ends up transpiring with Andrew Mangiapane over the course of the next 48 hours. Allow me to suggest to you that if Edmonton is able and it just unfortunately hasn't worked out for Mangiapane this year. If they are indeed able to move his contract out, that could easily facilitate a second trade for Edmonton, potentially a guy that plays in the top nine.
Now, in a perfect world, you're probably looking at a center. I do want to clarify something that was said on yesterday's show because somebody picked up on it and did not correctly say what I said. I said that I had time for Nicola Waugh from Toronto. Edmonton needs a bigger right shot center. I never said for one second that the Oilers were getting Nicola Waugh. I said I like the player. I do think that the Oilers, you know, if they move on Mangiapane and if you factor in the 1.15 that's on the books for him down on the minors you basically got you know two and a half to three million bucks to play with here uh to get a player so that's gonna put you in a price point in a range for somebody coming back in a perfect world maybe get them for two playoffs the player
Um, what's the requisite cost on that? Probably at least a minimum second round draft choice. So we'll have to wait and see. Um, and again, but at no point did I say the Edmonton order is outright. We're going to get, uh, Nicola law. We've talked about law for the last three or four months. I spoke in, you know, January about the fact that maybe there was a guy on a team that thinks they're a playoff team that may become available. And that's changed the landscape can tell you.
