Blackhawks sign key blueliner to a multi-year extension
The Chicago Blackhawks have locked up a key blueliner in 28-year-old Connor Murphy to a four-year, $17.6M contract extension on Tuesday, which carries a $4.4M AAV.
President of Hockey Operations and General Manager Stan Bowman issued a statement following the signing and had this to say about Murphy:
"When we acquired Connor in the summer of 2017, we had visions of him growing as both a player and leader in our organization for many years. He has transformed into a defenseman capable of matching up with the opponent's best players and someone we trust to help us preserve a lead in the final minutes. Connor's voice carries weight in our locker room as a veteran presence and we're thrilled that his development and leadership will continue as a Blackhawk."
Murphy has suited up in 494 regular season NHL games during his 8-year NHL career, tallying 110 points over that span.
The two-way defender amassed 15 points in 50 games with the Blackhawks in 2020-21.
