I think it all depends on how you view Connor Murphy. I view him as a reliable back end guy if hes in the right matchups, but might have to be moved in order to make room for Boqvist/sign debrincat and strome. If you view that he has to be moved in order to make room for the signings, I think this isnt the worst trade, given Perrault has a similar cap hit but for one less year. All in all, I wouldnt do it, but its not a particularly flawed trade given the circumstances. If we are talking pure value wise, I dont think its great but its not bad, given the second round pick and a cheap 3rd pairing guy in Djoos coming back. Either way, dont think Murphy is getting traded this season. If you call back next June though hes probably on the table.
