Few issues with this,
1 if they retain half of McDonagh's money they won't have to attach a pick to trade him, I also think there are teams that would still take him at his full dollar amount without a pick attached. Secondly doubt the redwings would be interested in McD. since they are going younger and rebuilding from the ground up, doesn't make sense going to that destination.
Foot wont sign for 750kx3 this isn't NHL21, he will take a 2 year bridge in the range of 1.25-1.5 knowing that he will finally have a real chance to contribute to the team and prove his value as a former first round pick to capitalize on the next contract.
Third you didn't do expansion, which Seattle will likely take someone from the roster with a cap hit of 4.5-6mill which would allow you to keep Cernak who they wont want to get rid of
