CHI
Ostapchuk, Zack
Murray, Matt
2022 2nd round pick (TBL)
OTT
Kubalik, Dominik [RFA Rights]
Murphy, Connor
2022 3rd round pick (TOR)
There’s no reason for Ottawa to do this deal. Connor Murphy is coming off a two concussion season, the second he had to be taken off on a stretcher, and Kubalik is just another bottom6 left shot winger, which Ottawa has plenty of, including Parker Kelly, the guy who hit Murphy for that second concussion.
Matt Murray also has concussion issues, but if he’s fine, he’ll play well, and if he’s not, they’ll put him on IR and let insurance pay his salary, or LTIR him if they need the cap space.
Ottawa isn’t giving up a decent prospect like Ostapchuk, and lose on a pick swap, for these players.
