a 2nd probably, with retention

not enough, especially with retention. With retention (2) 2nds. He's a very good locker room guy, works extremely hard off the ice, and good role model. Other teams may not value that as much but a rebuilding team does

it's a steep price for a lesser tanev. i know chicago fans on CF LOVE to place their guys at a high price but id be shocked if thats what he went for

It's not that, it's understanding the value to the Hawks and knowing he's not on the market. If a team wants to pry him away, it's going to take more. Maybe at next season's TDL or a year from this summer, but right now, it's going to take (2) 2nds or a 2nd a good prospect to get him with retention based on on insider reports that the Hawks are not shopping him and have no interest in trading him.

I know he’s had an off year, but Murphy is still a top 4 defensive dman. Getting that for 2 years @ $2.2 a year (and the hawks needing to retain) will likely cost a 1st round pick. See the McCabe trade with Toronto a couple years ago for comparison

The retention alone would cost the Sens a 2nd. Still gotta pay for Murphy after that. A 2nd might get him without retention. Add to that the Hawks aren't looking to move Murphy. Moving him creates a hole both on the ice and in the room for a team that wants to get better this season. With retention, it's a 1st or the Hawks just pass.

That's dumb. CHI fans are easily one of the most reasonable fanbases on this website, and I'm not just saying that because I am one, it is because I have experienced it. 'Market value' and 'the value he has to CHI's rebuild' are two entirely different things. If you don't understand why, that just sounds like you have no critical thinking skills.

At $2.2m he is also significantly cheaper than what Tanev will receive in FA.



My thoughts exactly, I have stated before that Murphy costs an early 2nd without retention, the price goes up if the Hawks retain. A 1st or 2 x 2nds or a 2nd and decent prospect.

Not to mention the fact that the hawks already have 8 2nd round picks in the next 3 drafts. I don't think a couple 2nds gets it done. They'd want a mid to late 1st.
