Rumor Mill: Blackhawks Linked to Defenseman Ryan Murray
The rumor mill has been picking up some steam lately. The Blackhawks were recently linked to Blue Jackets’ defenseman, Ryan Murray, who is a restricted free agent.
Scott Powers of The Athletic connected Ryan Murray to the Blackhawks in a recent article. The interest definitely makes sense. Murray is a viable Top 4 defensemen who is known more for his defensive abilities. This is an area where the Blackhawks could use an upgrade.
In my Potential RFAs and Trade Targets for Blackhawks article from about a month ago, I had actually listed Ryan Murray as a target this offseason. There’s no question that Murray would be an instant upgrade for the Blackhawks, but I also have some concerns.
