A surprise pick in the first round, Murphy will could bring a dynamic presence to the Coyotes blue line. He first however must prove he has overcome past problems with injuries.
Talent Analysis
A rangy blueliner who is a very mobile skater, Murphy is still growing into his size and high potential. He is a smooth skater who gets around the ice and plays a smart, confident game with and without the puck. Plays with some good physicality and is very effective with a long reach and wing span.
Future
Murphy has already battled some tough injuries in his young career but was impressive in his shortened first season with the Sarnia Sting. Will return to the Sting and should become one of the top blueliners in the OHL.
