Stars get the best player right now plus cap relief in exchange for a promising young F.
Jets get cap space, replacement players, and a pick.
Kings get a pick for a player they don't seem keen on. Coyotes get D help in exchange for a prospect that'll have a hard time getting ice time with Boedker, Domi et all.
Pens add some punch to the bottom 6 and acquire good prospects. Should have enough cap space to bridge Nichushkin and lock up Maatta. Following year Hemsky, Scuderi, Kunitz, and Daley are off the books and that'll help sign Dumolin and Pouilot and the other prospects.
You have to be kidding about the Arizona trade. How does Cole help their D? And Perlini. What is he 21 years old, a first pick and will have trouble getting ice team? There are 12 wingers on a team.
The only one that makes a little sense is the Pit-Wpg deal. Depending on who you'd ask, you could get a 50% yes or no to this trade.
Your analysis for the others is so way off its not even funny. Those 3 prospects/young players are worth a heck of whole lot more than your giving them.

Their D is pretty terrible. I still think in the right system Cole can be a serviceable player. At this point someone can get him for a mid round pick; but Arizona didn't have one. So I picked a prospect that could be stuck getting bottom 6 minutes with Boedker, Domi, Duclair, and Reider ahead of him.

1/4 on the trade front for these.
From everything I've seen Pearson for a 3rd is the going rate. Nichushkin is on the block and yes he's a tremendous prospect. Getting a first line wing in return plus dumping the bad Hemsky contract is a good return. What more do you think it needs? And I'll just refer you to previous post on the other deal.
