Value of: Connor Murphy.

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

Blackhawks are 9 points back of a wildcard spot, what kind of market do you think there would be for Connor Murphy?

I think it depends on if they are willing to retain 50%, if they are I think Murphy gets a package similar to Jake McCabe, but I also think Jake McCabe got what he got because Chicago retained 50%.

Would Chicago be willing to do it for Murphy and tie up 2 retention slots for multiple years?

If so I think he easily gets a 1st+

If not I'm not sure.

There would be a pretty big market for him I'd think. Quality RHD with size that can play 20 min a night and eat PK minutes. That's the exact guy a lot of teams would want/need for a playoff run. With retention I think he'd go for a 1st + a good prospect.

 

[Iwishihadaspacebar]

Yeah similar to the McCabe deal probably.

1st, lower prospect, roster player for cap reasons.

With retention a better prospect.

I think he goes for a 2nd and a prospect that isn’t that great. He’s been horrible this year, and really Vlasic and Jones play the tough minutes.

I would expect him to be a decent #5 PK guy on a winning team.

I agree and wouldn't hesitate to pay it, especially with retention.

If he's even half as good as McCabe has been he'd be well worth it.

Seriously I shudder at the thought of this defense without McCabe.

Guys, shhhhh. Kenny H reads these boards.

Murphy has been fantastic.

He's a top 4 RD with size.

A lot of teams Would.

 

[Mrfenn92]

Would love a first but my guess is a second and a prospect/mid round pick.

With retention if the price is met I’m sure they’d go for it.

Also has a limited no trade clause fyi.

Yep. Big RHD who should be close to his physical prime don't come cheap, especially at 2m per.

Teams will chalk up his less than stellar performance this year to being on a bottom feeder. And they might be right, outside the covid playoffs, he has never played in a playoff game in his career. Probably tired of it here.

 

[Esq]

I’ve been a big fan of Murph in a Hawks uniform, but his performance this season has been awful. I hope a trading partner is willing to look past that.

 

[BHawk21]

I would love that. Hes not a top 4 RD on a good team at this point.

 

[dj Mahoney]

Murphy's trying to do to much out there. Every shift he has his partner screws up, it's understandable. If he's moved to a sound Team he'll be more than stellar is my feeling .

 

[hawksrule]

If we could get a 1st for him I’d go bananas. He’s been horrible.

Hes been the worst partner on every pairing all year. He might be trying to do too much but individually thats on him.

I could see a trade centered around murp for campbell with Oilers making sense? probably would take at least a 1st and 2nd and Maybe Broberg or hollway. moving campbell would probably take a 1st and 2nd (could be a prospect and taking murph back might be a 2nd or a 3rd IMO.

would ED do campbell broberg hollaway and 1st for Connor murphy. the blackhawks have so many picks I wonder if getting some reclamation 22 year olds might make sense instead of 2nd's and 3rds?
