History

2007-08: Took over the starting reins for the Belleville Bulls.  Posted a .929 save percentage and 2.24 GAA in the regular season.  Led the team to the Memorial Cup.  Named OHL goaltender of the year.

2008-09: OHL Goaltender of the Year for the second year. Signed three-year deal with Hurricanes in March of 2009.

Talent Analysis

His slight stature could hold him back.  He will need to compensate for his lack of ideal size with athleticism.

Future

After dominating the OHL for the past two seasons, Murphy moves up to the pro ranks this year. The unconventional-yet-spectacular goalie will battle Justin Peters for the starting job in Albany this season.
