<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>arafay</b></div><div>Fair enough, though I wouldn’t classify gustafsson and especially smith as “meh”. What if we send Logan Stanley, Simon lundmark, or kovacevic instead of appleton?

Logan Stanley and kovacevic could especially develop into similar players to Murphy</div></div>

If we're trading Murphy, I would want a prospect who can become as good as Murphy. Stanley, Lundmark, and Kovacevic may play a similar game to Murphy, but it is very unlikely that they ever become top 4 guys, at least going off of what I have read from scouts and reporters. Gustafsson is interesting, but I think his ceiling is 3rd line center, which isn't a position of need and isn't enough for Murphy. I would do it for Heinola or Samberg, but I highly doubt the Jets want that, so I don't think the trade works between the two teams.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>arafay</b></div><div>I put him on the top pair cause of size. Pionk and arguably demelo are both ahead of him in depth chart terms.

Also he’s a high end shutdown guy but that’s it. He’s no top pair d-man.

However, I can replace appleton with a different propecg such as Nathan smith? Or maybe if the jets are confident they can resign Lowry, David gustafsson? That’s about all he’s worth though tbh. Don’t really have the currency to pay 2 2nds like I originally planned so I tried to make it up with a prospect.</div></div>

Murphy is not a top pair d-man, but he is a very good shutdown second pair guy, and he is very important to the young (and usually porous) Hawks defense. The Hawks become a worse team by doing that trade, and the second does not have a high enough chance of giving us a player of Murphy's caliber for this to be worth it, even with the other (very meh) prospects you offered.
