Although I'd love to keep him through the rebuild, Connor Murphy is probably a piece Chicago will look to trade in the next 12-13 months. He has another year after this one at just under $4 million.
So what about Murphy (50% retained) for one of Joseph, Volkov or ABB, Jan Rutta (perhaps the Hawks could then flip him again?) and the 2021 1st rounder? Then down the right side the Lightning have Murphy, Cernak, Foote/Schenn.
I'll be honest, if Johnson is included, I don't think there's a fit. 4 years is a long time and while I generally like Johnson, I want available roster spot in the next couple of years to go to our young guys. So hopefully taking someone off the roster and Rutta is a deal that works money-wise. And Tampa gets a top-4 defenseman with term for under $2 million
