Me too, wonder where it came from.

That's a considerable overpayment in the Detroit trade. Red Wings fans were content to take Eriksson for a similar package.

Yes from NJ

Most Wings fans seemed to say it would cost Demko and a 2nd + to take Eriksson. I would still do that over this Beagle deal if Eriksson wasn’t already shipped out in the Boeser deal. Anyways, a pick can be added or subtracted but the point of the trade is to use Demko to get rid of more dead weight if Markström re-signs.

Theres some variation, many wings fans would want another asset added alongside Demko to take Eriksson, and I think they would be right. Considering that goalies tend to have a lower trade value given the uncertainty that comes with a position I would think this is fair value. Vancouver would lose 1 of Demko or Markstrom at the expansion draft anyway.

I saw a number of Wings fan approve a trade that sent Eriksson + Demko + 3rd to Detroit for a 7th. It should cost less to dump Beagle, so I wouldn't include an important piece like Demko in that deal and make up the value with something else.

With that said, given that management seems to have made re-signing Markstrom a priority, moving Demko in the original trade I said (or something really similar) would be the best value we could get from him on the market. Then we are freed to trade Boeser for a prime return instead of diminishing it by trading Eriksson (if Boeser is actually moved, which I still doubt).



The basic trade structure that I've seen both sides agree to is Eriksson + Demko + 3rd for a 7th.

You’re spot on for the Eriksson cap dump (Eriksson+Demko+2nd). For Beagle, I’d you were willing to give us Demko back I would probably give a 4th or maybe even a 3rd back.
