The Other Blackhawks Trade

Wow thats awful for the leafs.
Domi is terrible and worth maybe a 3rd at deadline prices and the difference between holl and murphy isnt even Robertson, let alone the rest

Terrible? On pace for 57 points this year on a truly terrible Blackhawks team. Just trolling if you really think he's terrible. This return is a lot but need to factor in the OP is asking the hawks to retain on Murphy for 4 years. Never going to happen but i'll entertain the hypothetical because that is what this site is. Because of that retention I don't think the hawks do this. We'll retain on domi, not murphy.

Yes, hes terrible. Hes shooting 150% his career average getting 1st power play time with kane and very soft zone starts while still being abysmal defensively. Lol 57 points, he got less last year when he was playing better.
And again, the difference betwee murphy and holl is nothing close to that. They can simply sign holl for less than even retained murray and keep the futures. This a horrendous trade for the leafs on every level

You know Murphy isn't better than Holl this year. So the Leafs are acquiring a 2.9m Murphy for three years. Yea that's good but Leafs do have Brodie, Liljegren, and Timmins at RHD next year (maybe even Holl).
Even if Domi is better than Kerfoot this year (which is debatable)....certainly the gap isn't 1st, Robertson and Niemela.
Why do Leaf fans hate their own?

Ya, the retention is why I added Niemelä and a 1st instead of no Niemelä and like a 3rd.
