The only trade I'd consider is the NYI one.
NJD -- they have no need for Saros when they have Blackwood, and I'd like to get a bit more for Saros anyhow (but I'd be open to moving him)
DAL -- not enough, they'll get a better pick hopefully
EDM -- where is the compensation for taking Neal??
NYI -- sure
PIT -- not the right pieces for Ekholm
AVS -- not really worth the retention if all you can get is a 5th
FLA -- maybe to this one? But I don't think NSH would need to retain at all here, and FLA might even need to add another mid round pick since they are getting rid of the multi-year Connolly contract (and don't seem to want him at all anymore)
WPG -- I can't see Poile trading Forsberg to WPG when they'll be in our division again next year -- and why does WPG need another winger? They need defense more. I think both teams decline.
VAN -- not enough incentive to take that contract, need a 1st at least -- but also, I can't really see teams wanting to take on big contracts for picks when they are already losing money
