The Carolina Hurricanes are reportedly trying to trade a defenseman they once drafted in the first round.

Ryan Murphy is being actively shopped by the club and he'll likely be on the move, according to TSN's Darren Dreger.

Murphy has one point in four games, and only Klas Dahlbeck has been given less average ice time (12:13) than Murphy (13:06) among Hurricanes defensemen this season.

The 12th overall pick in 2011 is under contract for $750,000 in 2016-17 and $825,000 next season.
