I would do that yes, if Ehlers didn't have a cap friendly contract and was an unhappy RFA like Domi is at this moment... also your comparisons are a little off; Niku is at least a drafted player with more offensive ability than Leskinen, Roslovic is bigger and better than both Byron/Lehkonen, and Vesalainen although hasn't really done much to date probably has a higher ceiling than Poehling, who will be at BEST a 3rd line centre in the nhl.
When exactly did Domi say he was unhappy in Montreal? This whole Domi is unhappy crap reminds me of that old school game telephone. You know the game someone whispers something to the person next to them and by the time it gets back around it isn't even close to what was said. Domi said he wants to play Center and Claude Julien said Domi was better at center. However over the course of the year and in the playoffs Domi played the wing and didn't complain. He just went out and played as usual. No where in his press conference where he said he loves playing Center did he say he was unhappy in Montreal that was just the media twisting a players words to help sell papers through controversy. Domi fired an agent and hired a new one. This happens all of the time in all sports but because it is Montreal the media says Domi wants a trade. Domi's new agent said that he and MB have had talks but that Fomi has never requested a trade. That is akin to saying Domi loves the city and wants to stay but ultimately MB is the GM and the guy that makes those calls so we will all have to wait and see what comes of the negotiations. Perhaps Domi fired his old agent because he wanted a deal done over the course of the season and he wasn't able to get the job done. The real reason behind the firing will never be known to anyone but Domi and his old agent.
You have never seen Leskinen play have you? Leskinen is a very good 2 way defenseman. He has good speed and and projects as a good 2nd pair or very good bottom pair option. Niku has more offensive abilities for sure but lacks size and is not very good defensively according to other threads I have read on here. The fact that Leskinen was undrafted literally means nothing some of the best players in the history of the game were undrafted. Belfour, Gretzky (joins NHL when Oilers joined he was already under personal services contract), Oats, Giordano, Peter Statsny, St Louis, Panarin, Bobrovski and Backstrom to name a few.
Roslovic is 6'1" 187lbs compared to Lehkonen who is 6'0" 176! 1 inch and 11 lbs is a huge difference! Lehkonen has more skill than he gets credit for because he has yet to breakout in the NHL if he ever does though he will be a force.
Poehling has the potential to be a 2 way center much like Danault but with more skill. However like Vesalainen he has struggled to even make the NHL.
So my comparisons are pretty close.
