I could maybe be talked into the framework of this deal, but I would need a little more on the Hawks end to pull the trigger this side of the TDL (hoping TRad builds on last season and his value gets into the stupid range we have seen for similar minimal salary fairly productive guys).
Counteroffer would be TRad + Murphy + Blackwell + the Hawks '26 2nd for Girard + MacDermid +'24 1st + '26 1st. So moving Blackwell as the Hawks have way to many bottom of the roster contracts which MacDermid only exasperates without someone moving out and flipping a likely high 2nd for a likely low 1st. Not a huge fan of Girard as a long term fit, but he should short term fill a need/role while we sort through a glut of LHD kids (most of which will in the end not be what we hope/wish) and especially while Korchinski marinates. Long term, when the cap rises significantly the next 2 Summers, Girard should be easy to move (whenever Korchinski convinces he will be THAT guy at the NHL level) as I can not imagine him not being very productive on the Hawks given the oppurtunities he will have. I'll confess I am not a big Murphy fan and look at moving him out as a sell high given he was pretty healthy this season was has not been a given.
