Fantasy Summary

A big, hard-hitting, defense-minded defenseman.


Observations

August 2025 – Murphy knows his identity as a player. Standing at 6-4, weighing just over 200 pounds, he’s known for his physicality and defensive prowess. He spent this latest season in the QMJHL playing for the Eagles in Cape Breton where he put up four points (two goals, two assists) in 54 games, but let’s be honest, he wasn’t drafted for his offensive numbers. Murphy makes his presence known along the boards, in battles and when defending the front of his net. He loves throwing his weight around and takes pride in his role on a team. Emmanuel Alforque

June 2025 – Selected 172nd overall, Will Murphy is now a member of the Detroit Red Wings. Mark Henry
