As others have said, Texier>Kubalik. It needs to be a sizeable talent upgrade for us to consider trading a single young winger for another considering the jam.
I would take Pulju for Nyquist for sure, only because Puljujarvi will be with the team longer. It's easy to envision him as a Nichuskin-in-the-rough at the moment and considering his value to that team...
McDonagh's contract is too high and too long despite getting good value for the trade. That would probably set Gavrikov's extension as starting in that area and ideally his contract starts with a 5.
No reason to sign Kulak, just let Peeke and Blanks play, I don't see this roster making the playoffs unless Johnson, Sillinger AND Chinakov light the world on fire.
