I think there's some juice to that San Jose deal - Reimer is obviously not their goalie of the future, so they can get back a pick and see what they can get out of Kerfoot - he's around the same age as Meier & Hertl, so you can either keep him around if he clicks with them, or flip him out at TDL as an expiring deal and get more futures out of it.
Mrazek is just a buyout at this point - his contract is backloaded, so the cap floor teams don't want him, and his performance is subpar, so everyone else is going to want to get something extra out of the deal if you're trading him. The best move still is to buy him out and eat a couple years of cap penalty.
Nylander for Scheifele doesn't feel like a one-for-one trade - but I think it's an interesting place to start. I feel like both teams add to build a package - maybe Toronto adds a little more than the Jets, but not much.
I think you could probably have Wood for less than this package. He's an RFA making $2.75M, coming off an injury, and I'm not sure how strongly he fits into the Devils plans. Feels like you could throw them a late round pick for his RFA rights and then flip Holl for a 3rd/4th somewhere else and keep your 1st.
