Probably an excellent deal. Murphy is underrated.

AZ defense will be set for years if DeAngelo and Chychrun can make the team in the next couple of years.

 

[Stephen Gionta]

John Chayka is freakin awesome.

 

[Toronto makebeleifs]

Good. We can close any and all Murphy to the leafs or Oilers threads.

 

[AZviaNJ]

Brilliant deal. Top 4 (Top 2 in AZ) RHD obviously a very hot commodity. 6 years buys out some of Murphy's UFA years as well. Well done Mova & Chayka!!

O **** damn didn't see 6 years.

How much 4 million?

 

[GoldiFox]

Teams are getting smart and locking up these young guys through UFA early on. I'm sure this deal will be great even without seeing the term. I'd guess $4-4.5 million (edit: Posted at $3.85 million - good $) which gives the team a lot of long-term flexibility in 4-6 years.

fantastic deal

 

[LuckyNumber11]

Freaking awesome deal. Extremely excited about this

 

[KrisLetAngry]

Damm. .15 million off.

.15 x 6 .90 off for my total.

It can go all wrong if the player doesn't progress beyond a #4/#5 - see Tom Gilbert with the Oilers.

It could be a homerun for the Yotes (like a Keith or Klingberg) though.

#4's can get pretty silly money these days, it's a different landscape now.

The term is in the title.

The term is in the title.

I think it is kind of hard to miss. Obviously the guy posted before it was added in.

 

[BonMorrison]

A steal. Murphy is awesome.

 

[SB84]

This makes the DDK deal look even worse.

Great deal for ARI! Young RHD who has some upside. Also buys UFA years. Love it, good job Yotes

 

[Dabeast]

steal

 

[KevinRedkey]

He's already worth around that much, so this should look pretty good in 3 years.

 

[Erndog]

I must be missing something here

 

[PatrikOverAuston]

Probably a little rich if what he's shown so far is his ceiling, but he's obviously so young that it's worth a roll of the dice. Good contract.

 

[SEALBound]

Good deal on an underrated player. I'm really pullin for John Chayka. I hope he does really well, like Billy Beane well.

 

[Kipper933]

Looks to be progressing to an elite shutdown D that is a quality puck-mover. This is excellent value for what he brings now, let alone what he can become.

 

[Satastic]

Great deal, like it a lot for Arizona
