Plus I will take those 150 blocked shots ayear and the 120 hits or so

Hagg had 102 bs and 138 hits. Playing 3+ less minutes per game. Also had far less giveaways.

a 1st for Murphy is bad asset management.

Risto got the 14th pick OA a 2nd rounder and hagg.

Murphy could command a 1st round pick.

"Fan's " around here wanted to protect will borgen over risto.

Seriously? This, again? I thought this until I found out that teams were offering a first for Risto. Nobody questioned keeping Risto after we saw what others were offering.

Anyway, Risto had more appeal than Murphy. Teams saw a big and fast skating right-shot defenseman and wondered if maybe he was not good here because the team was not good. Murphy doesn't have that potential - he is a decent 2nd pairing defenseman.

im not sure what the angle is here. he had a legitimately good season last year, on a not so good team. He's a strong physical veteran defensive presence and Power could probably benefit from having him sit back for him.

I suggested we try to get Connor Murphy from the Blackhawks about a month ago. I see it's today's hot blog topic.

Dirty D mentioned the fans in the Chicago forum don't think Murphy's value is a first.

I was pointing out that fans in our blog (you apparently) didnt have a clue of a players value, despite following the team.

Sorry if I hit a sore spot

He's actually had 3 or 4 good seasons in a row, I don't think 28 would be out of the box for them to ask for. Maybe 41st and something else gets it done.
