The Hjalmarsson-Murphy move was objectively bad for CHI. They got a far less impactful player for the same cost against the cap. Murphy has always been a bum.
I see that trade as a bringing in a younger version of Hammer…Hammers’ body eventually broke down…Seabs Keith and Hjalmarsson/Murphy are 1000 gamer dcorpThe Hjalmarsson-Murphy move was objectively bad for CHI.

Murphy stinks, but Hammer was falling apart physically by the time the Hawks traded him.
And he was still a much better player his final two years than Murphy ever was for the Hawks. Moving him could have made sense if they had gotten an actual haul for him. They didn't.
Terrible no, healthy, no. He had 1 full healthy season. He was still strong defensively most of the time when he was healthy enough.My memory might be fuzzy but I thought Hammer was pretty terrible after the trade from what I remember reading.

They have been competitive in most of their games this year in terms of winnable games, just don't have enough offense to win many of them.How many times have they had a one goal lead going into the third this season? Man! I can’t take it anymore…
