Honestly to see the Jackets need for Bozak. Wenneberg produces similar numbers at the 3C, so I don't see a fit. The Jackets can certainly upgrade a few positions up front, but Bozak for Foligno seems more lateral, even a downgrade.
The Barbashev for Dzingel deal is interesting. Upgrades the Canes 4C, and I think your buying low. Worst case it's another lateral move, but I believe Dzingel bounces back...... I suspect the Canes do too.
I am surprised you didn't use Allen as trade bait though. There could be cheaper UFA tenders on the market that can play 30 games, where there are teams that could use Allen for 1 year to bridge themsleves - like Ottawa or Chicago. Or offer insurance on their current situation like New Jersey.
