Theres tons of options, it comes down to whether they can fix sanheim or myers, how they need to address the defense.

I just dont see Murphy as a top 15 pick and a mid rounder as his value

Dougies overall game is something to pay 8 mil for.

Giving up a top 15 pick is too much in my opinion. His style of play is what we need so i can see why someone would give a top 15 pick for him.

Not questioning that, just the total cap number.

You mean he would be harmul for the future?

God no. Just that you could afford the Dumba salary if you can afford the Dougie salary. Yeah, 6 mil for Dumba is slightly over what he brings but not by much.

Yea i was bit confused what you meant. Quality-price ratio isn't all the greatest with dumba. Also his contract would be on the way when we need to sign guys like Couturier, Farabee and Allison (Not saying Hamilton's wouldn't be) which would eventually get Voracek either traded or bought out so it would be good to get his contract out of the way before its too late.

Dylan Strome is a healthy scratch on a non playoff team.
why would anyone give up a 1st for him? his value is at an all time low.

Hawks would be smart to keep Murphy.
You need veterans on the blue line to teach the young kids.

If anything, they should look to move Keith if they can

Sadly I agree, though I do think we could get a later first if its packaged with a bad contract and Strome is part of that package. eg. EDM for Kosk or Neal.
