Although the trade is fair per se, I'm not sure the Hawks would be willing to do that as they are rumored to be making a big splash in free agency with all the cap space. The Hawks, being a top 3 revenue team, always go up pretty close to the cap because the fans demand they spend money. That said, the Hawks do need to reserve about $6M to $8M in cap space next year for signing Cat, Strome, Kahun and Gus the year after so it could be doable for that reason and with Boqvist and Mitchell coming up on the right d side and Seabs being unmovable, I could see the Hawks moving Murphy after the season or the following season in the expansion year.
