The first two trades are dreadful for us. Both Byron and that 2nd rounder on their own are more valuable than Dano who at this point projects as a bottom six winger.
Lehterä is a cap dump like you said, we don't need to spend ANY assets to get him. In fact, Philly should be paying to us to take him. And Lehterä is not the answer to our centre woes in the first place. He's not fast or durable enough to play in any sort of impact role.
I don't see why Dallas would do that third trade. Why would they pay a 2nd for a downgrade on backup goalie and adding a bottom-pairing dman to recreate the logjam they just got cleared by trading Oleksiak?
The Pleks trade has been discussed a lot and it's still solid.
