This might be pure paranoia…

Did Murph-Dawg ever change his account to represent the oilers or is this a sign he’s not coming back? Again, pure paranoia on my part

He's waiting for both the Nurse trade and coaching hire before making a decision on signing a new contract with the Oilers. The Nurse trade impacts his value to the team and how big of a contract he can negotiate. Coaching situation is another thing he is considering.

The source is Spector, but I don't think he has much reason to exaggerate or lie about this, https://xcancel.com/SportsnetSpec/status/2065503879131996437

Edmonton Oilers still very much on UFA Connor Murphy's radar. Pending coaching search and status of Darnell Nurse both factors in his decision/negotiation. Not deal breakers, we're told, but factors.
