Not too shabby based on stats, 16 pts in 32 games, 5 being goals.
Did Tampa Bay let him go due to their salary cap. Anybody know about
him?

D Cory Murphy signs two-way contract with Devils
By Associated Press
10:09 AM CDT, July 17, 2009

NEWARK, N.J. (AP) — Defenseman Cory Murphy has signed a two-way
contract with the New Jersey Devils.

Contract terms were not disclosed on Friday but Murphy's salary will
be determined by whether he plays for the Devils or one of their minor
league affiliates.

Murphy split last season with Florida, Rochester in the AHL and Tampa
Bay. He had five goals and 11 assists in 32 NHL games. He was claimed
off re-entry waivers by the Lightning in January after starting the
season with the Panthers.

Murphy, who spent six seasons playing in Europe, added two goals and
four assists in five AHL appearances.

So do we still need to play the 09-10 season or can they go ahead and
award us the Stanley Cup now? :)

Good local boy, Mark. (well, local to me anyway) Nothing wrong with Cory,
IMO. He'll boost the PP and work hard for ya.

this looks like a good pickup. Nothing too flashy, but solid.
Can't be worse than what we have...

He's a right shot. PP QB. Not a good defenseman. Maybe an upgrade to
Salmela. Oh well, you need to create depth with those always-fun Olympic
year schedules.

the right shot thing gives him a big advantage. I think he'll play, this
year's Mike Mottau, in that no one expects him to play (although I was
scared he would), but he will.

If his defense is no worse than Mottau, and he comes with an offense
upside, then our D has potentially improved!
