Murphy isn’t worth any more.
Actually, he is. 26 year old top four RHD under control for the next three years at a very respectable 3.85 AAV.
If you think that Ceci + Bracco + 3rd is worth more to the Leafs than Connor Murphy, you are absolutely crazy.
Ceci is bottom pairing guy with a huge contract, Bracco is an AHLer and the 3rd, well... is a 3rd.
Take off the Leaf goggles and get in the game bro.
Terrible, terrible homer take on your part. Get serious.
If a trade like the one suggested for Murphy ever fell into the Leafs laps and they failed to jump on it the entire management team should be dismissed.
The cap savings alone from Ceci to Murphy would be the money that they are looking for to acquire a backup.
This would make the team instantly better now and moving forward at the cost of nothing more than an over priced bottom pairing defensman, an AHL forward that the team has no room for and a mid round pick that they can easily afford to part with.
