Analysis:

After a promising rookie season in 2013-14, Murphy regressed a bit this season, posting just seven points in 73 games, but also seeing his average ice time reduced by more than a minute per game to 16:48. While he adds a physical and defensive presence, as exemplified by his 137 hits and 142 blocked shots, Murphy's lackluster offensive game limits his usefulness in fantasy.
