No to all of these trades from DAL point of view.
Kovalchuk's overpaid, Carter has been on the decline for a while now and Amadio and Roy wouldn't make it to the roster anyway. Considering that we'd be giving some actually useful assets such as Dickinson, Oleksiak and a 1st, DAL is getting fleeced in the LA trade. I wouldn't mind getting Kovalchuk, but he needs to be way cheaper than this.
Cogliano is much more useful than Johnston. He's good at PK, durable and fast. Solid bottom-6 forward.
We could've picked Sprong from the waivers if we needed him. Janmark has been pretty decent. Not moving him for unneccesary assets.
