The trades are realistic, maybe even a bit self-depricating, except the Petry deal, which is awful. I don't think Juolevi is headed in the right direction developmentally, so this is a huge gamble. Baertschi is in the minors, so I'm not sure how this improves the Habs. It's certainly not worth the gamble unless there is a pick in 2022 or 2023 that compensates if Juolevi never makes the jump to being an NHL regular.
Tatar for a #1 is a fine return, but Montreal should reserve the right to defer a year in case Dallas ends up in the semis or finals.
Byron is untradeable at the moment and will be until he gets 30 games back under his belt and shows whatever was bugging him is fixed. He was not the same player after training camp, so this could be a much bigger issue than anyone is saying. On the over hand, Weal is very marketable but not for a pick that is that high. Maybe try swapping a third and a fifth instead.
