Ryan Murphy had some ups and some downs in his first year as a member of the Minnesota Wild. He signed a new 2-way contract this summer, to allow being sent between Minnesota and Iowa without restriction, so he may be accepting his role with the team.
History
Murphy was a highly sought after 1st round pick in the 2011 NHL Draft, going 12th Overall to the Carolina Hurricanes. It wasn’t his first time being drafted high either, as he went 3rd overall in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) junior draft.
