Sujet: Just for kicks Out of the box idea
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Wadejos123</b></div><div>I think it favors us too much. TOR wouldn't do this. Assume we were a good team, would we pay Reichel, 2 1st's, and dump Connely for a guy like Murphy? Absolutly not</div></div>

I don't think Toronto would do this, but I don't think it's a bad deal. When the Hawks were contending, they paid a 1st for half a season of guys like Ladd and Vermette. Sometimes those moves work out, sometimes they don't. But if the Hawks could have traded 2 1sts for a top 4 Dman making 2 million and dumping Bickell, I don't think I would have said no. For a contender, a guy like Murphy at a number like that for 4 years is pretty damn valuable. Same principle as the Hagel trade. I will say I don't think Murphy out performs his contract as much as Hagel, so maybe drop Knies for a lesser prospect, but the idea is there. Again, I'm not sure I would do it in TOR's situation in particular, but I think the concept is there.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaXon</b></div><div>Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, it's a tough read. He's been lights out for a while, but he's still young. Probably too young to be a regular NHLer at this stage. Most goalies don't have an NHL impact until about 26 years old. That said, he's probably a bit too young for what Edmonton needs, anyway. They need someone who is on the verge of making it.</div></div>
Yeah, as far as Chicago goalies go, I’d actually be interested to see if the Oilers would make a run at Lankinen this off-season if the Hawks don’t bring him back. He’s been up and down in front of a horrific team, but there’s definitely talent there. Might not be the worst idea for the Oilers to go after a couple of cheaper guys in net who have some talent and see if one of them can break through.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>JaXon</b></div><div>Please expand on where the inequity is. I genuinely would like to know. Both teams would be unloading 2 unwanted contracts. Chicago would be giving up the better prospect goalie as of now, but Konovalov is no slouch. He was one of the top KHL goalies for a few years at a very young age before coming over, drafted 85th overall, which is pretty high for a goalie. Chicago gets a 2nd pick for a 3rd to make up for the prospect difference. Connolly isn't even in the NHL this season and has a cap hit of $3.5M. Barrie may have high cap hit, but he is a PP specialist and he led the entire NHL D in points just last season. Murphy is a UFA so you lose him for very little at the deadline anyway. His Cap hit is too high for many Cup contenders to trade for him at the deadline as a rental. That was my logic, anyway.</div></div>
Murphy is an unwanted contract? That's news to us Hawks fans, and considering that the Hawks signed Murphy to an extension (and thus he isn't a UFA), it's probably news to them too. The Hawks need a top 4 defensive RHD way more than they need a D like Barrie.
