He may not be on Quinn Hughes' level, but Connor Murphy is still an intriguing trade option for the Detroit Red Wings.
The Quinn Hughes saga was an emotional roller coaster for Red Wings fans. Just when it seemed Detroit was the favorite to land his services, the Minnesota Wild came out of nowhere with their blockbuster offer that included the highly-touted Zeev Buium.
Regardless if you believe the Wings should have given up a player like Simon Edvinsson along with prospects and picks, or think that the team was smart to stand pat, everyone is at least a little disappointed to not see Hughes in the Winged Wheel.
