No, now you are only addressing the other half of the trade! Just to be safe I'll go ahead and break this down further...

I consider Connor Murphy to be worth a first, perhaps even more with an extension... but I'll leave that out of an already complicated equation. Let's say that he is worth a pick in the 17-23 range, without an extension. If you add in the cost <strong>I</strong> think it should be to dump Eriksson (which IMO is 2 2nd round picks), theoretically, that should be in the ballpark of the value for a pick outside of the top ten. For argument's sake, let's say that that Beagle retires and his 3 mil cap hit vanishes (not how it works, but details), the value is still decent to get that first-round pick especially with the hawks adding in a pick next year for good measure. By points percentage you guys are 12th worst in the league, so assuming the pick is 12th overall you guys are giving up that pick for cap space (6-9 million), A partner for Quinn Hughes, and a pick in next years draft.
