Columbus being the biggest free agency spenders in the NHL in back to back years is the world I want to live in, especially after watching everyone walk over the past few years. It's unrealistic, but I f*ckin' love it!

I could see something like this given that the 2nd rounder is an early pick.

It would be worth it alone for the apoplexy it'd give Dom Luszczychyn (I didn't look that up so apoloigies on spelling) even if the team never wins a game.

That little bonus of giving Larkin the same AAV as Werenski made me smile.

Agree. Low 1st is probably what Murphy is worth given that he's pretty good and (in the current environment) cheaply signed.
