I don't think this is a great deal. Murphy has never played at a level that warrants this type of money.
If he can stay in the top 4, this deal won't look too bad. He is a more defensive player (with a big shot). As of now, he isn't that great in his own end.
I'm surprised that so many haven't heard of him. The guy was a first round pick and has been in the NHL for 2-3 seasons.
