Confirmed with Link: Blackhawks trade Hjalmarsson to Arizona for Connor Murphy & Laurent Dauphin

[ChiHawks10]

There's gotta be more to all this. Some other move has to be in play.

 

[LDF]

re Dauphin, does anyone think that he may be the next kruger replacement ??

Connor Murphy has 3.85M cap hit for next 5 years

No cap savings with this move , No high quality asset , , What a joke

Murphy is a RD signed for 5 more years compared to Hammer's 2. I think the Hawks did just fine.

 

[ClydeLee]

He already in a equal like Dzone usage to Hjammer has shown he can play well and lead his team D pretty well in comparable corsi and matchup roles.

Yeah, keep trading guys away till Seabrook waives.

No cap savings... right now. This move looks a lot better in two years when Hammer would have walked as a UFA and instead we still have Murphy in his prime for 3 more years at 3.85. I get the thinking behind it, I just think we should have held out for a better sweetener.

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

Hammer latest victim of Seabrook extension

That is the "More to this"

 

[No Fun Shogun]

Literally the only way this makes sense is if they think that Hammer's about to fall off a cliff, but even then I would've hoped for a better return.

 

[ChiHawks10]

From what I've seen of Murphy, he's not garbage BWC...

 

[ChiHawk21]

i literally have no idea how good connor murphy is. But the contracts and age look fine to me...

 

[CallMeShaft]

Will miss Hammer.

This offseason has not been for the faint of heart.


Will try to evaluate the players we got back a little more sometime later.

 

[ChiGuySez]

RD with size. Seabrook.......

 

[Blackhawkswincup]

From what I've seen of Murphy, he's not garbage BWC...

He is not garbage but he is no Hammer

This is garbage return

 

[ChiHawk21]

He is not garbage but he is no Hammer

This is garbage return

arizona fans seem to really like murphy

 

[ChiHawks10]

He is not garbage but he is no Hammer

This is garbage return

No... but he's significantly younger with more time to develop. If you didn't see a serious shakeup/on-the-fly retool this year, you're being naive. Bowman said things were gonna get crazy, did he not?

 

[Putt Pirate]

Terrible trade. Stanley supports have no leg to stand on in regards to this trade.

 

[Ace Rothstein]

What a **** trade. Stan has been very poor at his job since the last Cup win. That Seabrook deal is just a killer on all fronts.

 

[Putt Pirate]

Stan is killing our D.

 

[chicagoskycam]

No comment on the value of the trade, losing two of most likable guys on the team in 1 week sucks. This is as as bad as the off-season after the 1st cup win.

 

[Illinihockey]

Almost everyone that I trust that knows about hockey likes or at least doesn't hate the Hammer trade

I think people are just overreacting because of the emotional value, IMO.

 

[piteus]

I'm getting worried.

 

[Kurtosis]

Well I'll say this, the first time Murphy makes a mistake will be interesting.

Exactly right. Hammer was beloved, I get why people are over reacting.
