I think you're undervaluing Carlson at $6M, but there's lots of cap room so that's possible. So 1 star for adding a player of value.
The deal with Boston is probably fine (so, 3 more stars for that) and would help Boston while giving the Oilers something for a departing asset.
Detroit is rebuilding and isn't going to trade for an ageing defenceman and a longshot. Caleb Jones is not close to the talent his brother Seth is. (So 1 star down)
Gauthier is looking more and more like he'll be a good player -- not a great player, but a good one. Carolina is also a pretty fast team. Lucic has always been slow and is getting slower. Carolina can absorb Lucic's crazy cap hit, so maybe there's a pick the Oilers could have, but no way two picks and a very decent prospect. (Sorry, another star off)
