Maybe

Even if Byron only had one year left OTT wouldn't take that offer, seeing as he has TWO YEARS remaining it's a for sure NO.

Possibly, although he's played well in the playoffs, Ottawa could do worse and have infinite cap space (but a small budget). Habs should keep him since this team has the cap space for him (and not sign Hinostroza).

How about maybe not?
Giving an AHL goalie and a late third isn't enough to tell Seattle who they should take.
You're trading Kulak but have no one scratched to complete the 23 man line up?
You're paying to get rid of how Assistant captain just to go out Hino? Cancel both and we've got the cap space to keep a valuable player.

i had tatars UFA rights in there too, not sure why it didn't add to the SEA trade.
just didn't call someone up for the 23 man roster was just focusing on the signings and lines.
only clearing byron and going with a cheaper contract because Suzuki, evans and Romanov are up at the same time so rather have cap for them ( last 2 wont cost as much as suzuki) but i wouldn't mind just having poehling up either.

Forget Saad and keep Byron for another year. What does Tatars UFA rigths include exactly? He's free to leave, there are many others ready and willing to take the LW spot for much less and may even play in the next cup run. Oh no I din't, oh yes I did!
