Trading Murphy for a forward is the dumbest thing this team could do. I pose, do the Hawks need more offence? I put Murphy after Keith on defensive coverage, ice time, and the pk. With Murphy gone, and nobody coming back on the blue line, the Hawks defensive line becomes more thin.
There maybe people here who will suggest that Boqvist, Beaudin and Mitchell can pick up the slack. In time, that will happen, it shouldn’t be expected at this point in their careers.
