Mike Murphy: up and coming Goalie


Recommended Posts

Source: News and Observer

Mike Murphy will battle for the top goaltending job in Albany next season.

The Hurricanes made a great pick last season in grabbing Murphy in the sixth round as the netminder was the top goaltender in major junior hockey last season. Murphy was 40-9-2-2 for Belleville of the OHL with a 2.08 GAA and a .940 save percentage. "He had a great year," Carolina GM Jim Rutherford said. "He's a great competitor. He covers a lot of net. He finds a way to stop the puck. We expect him to go to Albany and fight for the No. 1 job." Murphy could find himself battling for the backup job in Carolina in 2010-11 as Michael Leighton has only one year left on his contract, backing up starter Cam Ward.

In my own words by CarolinaPanthers8789: Mike Murphy, who has a career record of 109-33-6 will be battling for the top goaltending spot in Albany next year with Daniel Manzato, who has a career record of 118-116-27, David Leggio, who has a career record of 76-36-13, and Justin Peters, (Justin Peters was Albany's starter last year) who has a career record of 142-138-26.

Also here are some names you may see called from the River Rats to help the Hurricanes this year.

    • Tetairoa McMillan.   The last 28 1st overall picks were either a QB, DE, or OT. Seeing as I don't think we'd take an OT in the 1st and give up on Ickey as an LT yet and there doesn't seem to be a clear overall #1 type of QB or DE pick this year, it very well could be a non conventional #1 overall this year, at least in regards from the last almost 3 decades of drafts. If we didn't have Horn, I'd be more open to Hunter as a CB at #1, but we have him so another CB wouldn't be how I'd use a #1 pick.  And as much as I love Legette, if we have SB contending aspirations, I don't think Legette is a #1 on a team like that, but he damn sure is an elite #2 on a team like that.  He's more of the Smith/Higgins/Waddle to Brown/Chase/Hill (in terms of role/impact, not style of play of course). T-Mac is going to be the top ranked WR on every team's board in the end.  He is going to be a true outside #1 WR who is viewed as a consensus Top 5 WR in the game by his second contract in the same way guys like Jefferson and Chase have done.  His height combined with his speed, athleticism, and hands are near impossible to find all in one player, there is a reason his generally used comp is Mike Evans (although as he's not as thick, I personally see him more as an AJ Green). Yes, as an Arizona alum I've admitted to having bias towards the player to begin with.  But he's also someone very widely being put into the Top 5 in mock drafts lately and most of them have him as the first non QB offensive player being taken, so it's not really THAT much of a homer pick on my part anyways. If a QB or DE truly separate themselves as being a can't miss prospect come draft day, I'm open to that discussion, but until then, or if it doesn't happen, T-Mac is my pick 100 times out of 100.
