I think that's the closest Rielly trade I've seen that's realistic in terms of value to this point. That said, I don't think MTL makes this trade simply because they're trading a cost-controlled solid dman for a rental. Now, you swap him out with Chiarot? I think you're closer. TOR would have a better chance financially of re-signing Chiarot.
The NJ trade just wouldn't work for NJ IMO....
NJ isn't moving Graves, not for that return. Graves is definitely a better dman than Dermott. Now, Kerfoot for Wood? Wood is definitely a fan favorite and gives NJ that grit element, but bringing in Kerfoot allows them to have a solid 3C and Zacha can stay at wing, so if you amended something around that? I could see potential.
