Value of: Connor Murphy 50% retained

[Crow]

Why? McCabe is easily the better player and very physical

They are about the same. Murphy is very physical too.

Only thing I like a little more about McCabe is he is more available health wise.

In my altered states of conscious as of late, Murphy is who I want the Wings to target to pair with Chiarot, moving Holl and Johansson to the 3rd (and Gustafsson can rotate in I guess, ugggggh).

What would you Windy City kids have to say about something around Murphy with some retention for a 2nd to start? We'll have to send something with value back still, but unsure how much.

Offer a late first (doesn’t have to be 2025) or don’t bother. Don’t want your second plus a depth prospect nobody has heard of. Top 4 RHD who at 50 % is dirt cheap and you get the extra year. Will throw in a Ryan Donato for good measure.

Not necessarily an "unknown" prospect, but someone who isn't ASP, MBN, Cossa, Mazur... you know the "1A" tier prospects.

And maybe a roster player of a needed position? Just trying to gauge whether anyone/anything is worth a swap between the Hawks and Wings.

Sorry. The royal “your”. Wasn’t intending to reply to anyone in particular.

Oilers would be a great fit. So would Leaf’s. He played with OEL in Zona when they were younger. Cats would also be a fit.

Guys like Murphy get a good return at the deadline. He’s playing well as a number 4 D. Hits like a truck. Retention probably gets a contenders first we could also make a package with someone like Donato included.

 

[Space umpire]

Murphy at 50% and Donato and a 5th brings back a 1st and a 2nd.

Like Trey Augustine and Marco Kasper?

What is Hawks actual needs? Just any young roster players? Prospects? Draft picks? All three?

Something nobody wants to give up. Forwards with size and skill.

I'd take MBN straight up.

I'd take MBN straight up rather than the 1st+prospect.

Don’t think we are getting him

More picks mostly, enough B prospects already (crowded) given nobody is giving up an A prospect. They could settle for a 2nd, but then also just keep him since he has a year left on his deal and it's not like they have to put Rinzel/Levshunov on the NHL roster ASAP.

 

[ManofSteel55]

This is the exact move I’d like Bowman to make. It would probably have to be for like a second and a third though as the Oilers don’t have a 1st this year



I would unquestionably take Murphy over McCabe.

I expect this will happen later in the season when we have accumulated some more cap space.
