Oilers fan favourite forward Connor Brown officially left the Edmonton Oilers in free agency, and is now delivering a heartfelt message to Oil Country.

The 31 year old Brown signed a 4 year contract worth $12M, a price Edmonton just wasn't willing to pay for an aging veteran. However, the Oilers will miss Brown, and Brown will definitely miss the Oilers.

Connor Brown delivers heartfelt final message to Oilers fans after signing with New Jersey Devils

Taking to Instagram earlier today, Connor Brown delivered one final parting message thanking the fans in Edmonton for their unwavering support through his two seasons with the team.
Thank you to the fans for two incredible years and unwavering support. Edmonton will always hold a very special place in our hearts.

Ready for a new chapter and excited to be a New Jersey Devil.

- Connor Brown
It's heartwarming to see Brown specifically mention the unwavering support, which likely refers to his very tough first season in Edmonton.
Connor Brown signed a 1 year $4M contract in 2023-24 after a major injury the season before, and struggled to get up to speed. He went nearly the entire season, March 14th, before scoring his first goal with the team. Yet Oilers fans still cheered his hard work and effort all the way, and erupted when he finally got a lucky one.
In the playoffs, Brown emerged as a key third liner and essential to a great penalty kill. Able to move up the lineup and beloved by his teammates, he earned the fan favourite status after a brutal start.
It's great to see him say a heartfelt goodbye to Edmonton after two great seasons. Oilers fans will be wishing the best for Brown in the next chapter of his career.
