Murphy will definitely cost more

CHI says no. But part of me wants to say yes. Buffalo adding would get it closer.

I really have no idea what his cost may be. What are you thinking, a first and maybe Bryson? More probably?

Not sure the sabres have anything they'd be willing to part with for Murphy.

My maximum that I would pay for Murphy is Johnson + 1st VGK/FLA, maybe Laaksonen + 1st VGK/FLA, depending on which defense prospect they might be interested in LD or RD, or would look for another target for trading.

Either of those would probably work.

"SHOVELING WILL BE THE DEATH OF ME". I suggest you get your wife to shovel. Strange winter, there has been far more snow this winter around the southern Great Lakes and way further south.
I live in "snow country" 90 minutes north west of Toronto on Georgian Bay (Lake Huron), and we haven't received that much snow, and hardly a "severe" day.
A contractor ploughs my driveway, I wake up and it's like WestWorld, nice and clear and just one less thing this old guys has to worry about.

That seems reasonable and yeah I agree that would be my max price as well. It is difficult to find a decent RD without giving up an arm and a leg.
