Coyotes aren't trading their only top pairing minute capable RD for futures.
I'd also think Murphy is worth a little more than 2 2nds.
why is it always dermott and a 2nd?
murphy is a key cog for the yotes, I dont see them dealing him anytime soon unless it is for a massive iver payment.
Plus, Arizona is pretty thin on D, so they would need an impact D coming back.
How about Gardiner for Murphy + Dvorak
Dermott + a 2nd is the new eller + 2nd
That is so much worse. Dvorak is a top 10 prospect arguably and while Gardiner is good, Murphy has more value IMO. Murphy is the second or third best D on a team with decent D, and he is a RHD so that adds even more value. You want Murphy for Gardiner, you are adding alot.
Gardiner is a #3 on most contenders whilst Murphy would be too inexperienced to slot higher than #4/#5
On the Blackhawks depth chart would go Keith, Seabrook, Gardiner, Hjarmalsson v.s Keith, Seabrook, Hjarmalsson, Murphy
Kings w/ Gardiner : Doughty, Muzzin, Gardiner, Martniez
Kings w/ Murphy Doughty, Muzzin, Martinez, Muprhy
Sharks w/Gardiner: Vlasic, Burns, Gardiner, Braun, Martin
Sharks w/ Murphy: Vlasic, Burns, Braun, Martin, Murphy

Wow, you expect anyone to belive Gardiner is better then Hjalmarsson?
And gardiner over ****... man you are one big Homer Simpson......
Gardiner= Murphy atm...
Would be a tough argument, I don't even have him in my top 20 prospects right now...
Also I don't see any way Murphy has more value than Gardiner. He isn't a sky high prospect, he is 23 now...
Connor Brown is a 30 goal guy soon and Dermott will be a top 4 d-man.
Murphy is already a top 4 RHD d-man.

You are definitely over valuing Gardiner. Hjarmalsson is significantly better than Gardiner. While I would put himm above Martinez, I would also do the same for Murphy. Braun is better than both in my opinion, but they are both better than Martin.
I honestly see this as home town bias, you are over valuing Gardiner here to prove a point but I don't see one being made.
I will admit this is one of your better original proposals, but that isn't saying much here. Try to look at value and needs for both teams before posting please.
One would argue you should do the same with your valuation there. Murphy has potential and being right handed is a plus but he hasn't shown that he could be more valuable than Luke Schenn at this point. He probably will by the end of their first day of training camp but still putting him ahead of those guys right now is laughable.
