Murphy signed a four-year, $17.6 million contract extension with the Blackhawks on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Murphy has developed into the Blackhawks' best all-around defenseman over the past three seasons, picking up 13 goals, 34 helpers, a plus-15 rating, 349 hits and 352 blocks while averaging 20:57 of ice time through 160 contests. The 28-year-old blueliner should continue to rack up plenty of hits and blocks while posting a favorable plus-minus rating over the next four seasons, but he likely won't produce much more than 20 points over the course of a full 82-game campaign.
