All these are possible except the Hertl trade imo. No way the value is there for the sharks to trade him for Van Riemsdyk, McNeill, Knott and a 5th. Plus, it's important to realize that the sharks are an aging team. Thus it would be wise to keep him, especially when he has room to improve.
On a side not, I think the plan you present (blowing up the roster for cap players) is the way to go. There Cap is a killing them, and with their cap the way it is now I don't see that they will be Championship contenders... Not compared to the Pens, Sharks, Ducks, Caps and rising Oilers & Leafs.

So the Hawks now have $7+million in cap space but don't use it? The Chicago Blackhawks are not a budget team.
None of the trades made here are necessary except the Seabrook trade. Seabrook should have never been signed to the deal he has.

Let's be real, the Oilers and the Leafs are not Cup contenders. Are they trending up? Yes, most definitely, but they are not championship teams.
