The Edmonton Oilers are in negotiations with Connor Murphy for a new contract, as general manager Stan Bowman aims to retain mid-season acquisitions, including Jason Dickinson. Murphy, 33, is a sought-after defenseman who could attract multiple offers if he enters free agency. Despite the potential hiring of controversial coach Mike Babcock, Murphy’s decision will hinge on his options, especially after the Oilers’ recent playoff shortcomings. Meanwhile, NHL coaches with expiring contracts face uncertain futures, including notable names like Joel Quenneville and Jared Bednar.
