The Wild have been dipping their toes in the free agent waters early and often today, and they managed to reel in a 24 year old, small, right shot defenseman. Ryan Murphy was taken 12th overall in the 2011 draft by the Carolina Hurricanes and was a promising prospect that has never quite lived up to the hype. The Wild are looking to restock the homestead after the Expansion and NHL Entry Drafts ripped pieces from the team. The day is early but the Wild seem to have a guy that can challenge to break into the NHL lineup on the blue line.
