Looking at Next Years Defensive Lineup

[Palmer2Fitz]

Murph will 20 min a game, but will see little/no PP time, if he stays in AZ. Could get traded.

Why do you think we trade our best RD who is only 23 years old?

I don't think he will be traded, but we desperately need a #1 or #2 RW. Murphy is probably one of the main players that could add that value that we might be willing to sacrifice (in a package). Now that we have 15 D-men (including the 2 RFAs when they have new contracts) signed (of which 8 are RHDs), that is where we currently have a surplus. Of course none of the other RHDs are anywhere near ready to fill Murphy's skates.

I think Murphy could be a long term Coyote, while Schenn is more of a stop gap until Chychrun, Wood, etc. are ready to go.

I think you are right.

That will depend on Murphy's play.
