Mike Murphy will battle for the top goaltending job in Albany next season.

The Hurricanes made a great pick last season in grabbing Murphy in the sixth round as the netminder was the top goaltender in major junior hockey last season. Murphy was 40-9-2-2 for Belleville of the OHL with a 2.08 GAA and a .940 save percentage. "He had a great year," Carolina GM Jim Rutherford said. "He's a great competitor. He covers a lot of net. He finds a way to stop the puck. We expect him to go to Albany and fight for the No. 1 job." Murphy could find himself battling for the backup job in Carolina in 2010-11 as Michael Leighton has only one year left on his contract, backing up starter Cam Ward.

In my own words by CarolinaPanthers8789: Mike Murphy, who has a career record of 109-33-6 will be battling for the top goaltending spot in Albany next year with Daniel Manzato, who has a career record of 118-116-27, David Leggio, who has a career record of 76-36-13, and Justin Peters, (Justin Peters was Albany's starter last year) who has a career record of 142-138-26.

Also here are some names you may see called from the River Rats to help the Hurricanes this year.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.

      Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
