Dreger: CAR Ryan Murphy likely on the move

[amnesiac]

I remember Don CHerry saying he guaranteed that he was going to be the 1st pick overall

 

[FreshSeabass]

We don't need him but we also don't need Burmistrov either...

Burmistrov

Murphy

Is there any potential for him or is 3c his ceiling. Although it may be small there is some upside for Murphy if he puts it together IMO.
Anyways i would do this probably.

 

[Captain Controversy]

Oilers could offer what they got for yakupov for Murphy.

We could, but why would we?

Zach Pinnochio?

I don't remember it rhat way
He said if he keeps working hard and listens to his coaches he could be the best player in the draft.

Burmistrov

Murphy

I'd do that trade.

We could use the D depth with the injuries piling up. He's probably an upgrade over Postma too. Having him paired with a D first guy like Chiarot could work. It also saves the Jets $.

I think Murphy is a lot more talented than people are giving him credit for. But -- and this happens to quite many PMDs out there -- he has been stuck at a place where he has been put to focus on playing defense better, and after a while you end up with someone that is doing nothing well enough. Bad development. My Rangers did the same thing to Bobby Sanguinetti that ended up going from NY to Carolina for nothing. From the day NYR drafted Sangs there was only talk about one thing, him learning to play defense, him learning to play defense, him learning to play defense. Like a broken record.

Thing is, the NHL is and have always been full of good offensive minded Ds who are crappy defensively. You need to afford these type of kids to hit the ice and play to their strength, and pick up defense a long the way. Doing well offensively isn't easy at all for a PMD, and you can't like tell them to focus more on something else than offense for a number of years.

With that said, whatever damage has been done has been done. I've checked him out on a regular basis here and there, and I don't see someone looking like he is having a good time enjoying the game, no confidence etc. But who knows, I wouldn't mind NYR taking a shot at him.

Feels a bit like Justin Schultz 2.0

Honestly I thought Schultz would blossom with a fresh start... but sometimes damage is hard to recover from

Seen alot of offensive talented dmen lose their ability to create offense. I remember Paul mara and Brad Stuart coming to Boston... both had success before... but they arrived damaged and never again got back to their potential.

If Boston didn't already have krug I'd want to take a chance on Murray but I wouldn't pay alot because I don't believe he will improve

Maybe Edmonton is a better fit... they need help on the pp backend and could use a 7th dman

Murphy for Stuart and Pavelec. .

 

[Rise from the Ashes]

Ryan Murphy for Austin Watson and a 4th

 

[topdawg]

Shares a name with a guy I work with who is always outside vaping a candy-scented aroma. I hate that guy, and thus, I hate the player.

Because of this, I hate him as well.

Burmistrov

Murphy

done

no take backs

Fortunately Benning doesn't have another Forsling to offer although he does have Columbus's 2nd round pick burning a hole in his pocket. So I can see him offering:

Jake Virtanen + CBJ 2nd round pick
for
Ryan Murphy + Brock McGinn

Are you planning on protecting this guy in the expansion draft? No? Then why give up anything of worth for him if you can lose him for nothing this summer? Gotta keep that in mind with any trade made this season.
