Not sure specifically when, but I can confirm that Murphy has played the left side on numerous occasions.
When was that?
Easy to forget when you don't watch all the games.

Nah man. That was just to give Rutta some looks and the experiment failed. Didn't last long also because Murphy didn't play well and because Franson didn't play much in his final year.
And again. Even if. It's useless now when trying to replace Mitchell. Moving Murphy to the left side wouldn't solve anything...it would create new problems.

Murphy did not fail on that experiment, he finally saw good fit and then fonally earned Qs trust to gain more icetime.
Just saw a bit on this topic that fit on Twitter. Pointing out there's basically the model of coaches and people that see value vs fit types.
And there's this type of model that seems people who demand handedness and style fit come off sounding like. But it's clear by actual choices and plays JC has not been a rigid role type pusher in his lineups.

You said “when was this” and now you are acting like you remember, this couldn’t be a more “tell me you are full of it without saying you are full of it”.

Well, I certainly hope so and that there are RD options in the organization because Mitchell was definitely rushed last season and is in need of development time in Rockford.
My worry is that I'm right and they're gonna ride him again pretty much no matter what because there are no options. Again, unfortunately, I fully expect Mitchell to beat out the other defense prospects and play just because he's a righty.

Not sure how it'll play out now, adding Jones means Jones and Murphy are eating the bulk of the minutes at RD.
McCabe-Jones
Stillman-Murphy
Jones-CDH
Could be a way around it, curious to see how it goes with Beaudin, he's too damn smart.

Re: Murphy playing LD .. Dont worry, we didnt really need any more proof that you dont watch the Hawks.
When was that?
But even if...it would be useless for the Blackhawks now...they need RD's, not LD's.
The lefty with the most RD experience is DeHaan but he's brutal on his off side.

What proof?
The last few years I watched every single one except some nationally televised ones with annoying announcers. And I did the same with many other teams...not just the Blackhawks.

DeHaan sucks on the right side. Was brutal when the Isles tried it. He's the LD with the most RD experience but it's still a bad option.

The fact that you didn't know Murphy played the left side?

Just trying to think of all our options. Maybe Krys surprises...maybe Mitchell's off-season will allow him to be eased in on the 3rd pairing.

Murphy played LD for us before, for a while. Yet, you said he didnt. Thats proof.

I do. But I don't think that's what you wrote.
What you meant was nothing but a failed experiment. Can't have been much more than a couple of games and he surely didn't play well like you suggested. You suggested that he'd be well able to play the left side and somebody else claimed he'd have extensive LD experience or something along that line. I don't remember everything of his time in Arizona but I don't think that's even close from true. Also, like I said already, it would be useless for the Blackhawks now anyway since they need somebody to replace Mitchell.

So has rookie camp started for the Hawks?

Get back to me once you re read your initial post
You literally asked when…
Just go away and stop trying to lie. Murphy plays both sides well but you didn’t even know he played that side for the hawks.
