So if I'm following correctly, LA moves Petersen's contract, a first and a second and gets Demko? Sounds pretty good
Historically, a 1st + 2nd/3rd has been the price for an equivalent salaried goalie swap with an imbalance.

Not sure why the Blues would want to add Salary and players at this time.
Would be much better off just selling ROR for futures.
Boeser's contract complicates things down the road when Buchnevich will need a raise.

Blues decline. If we are trading ROR it will be for picks and prospects. Not another roster player
This is valid. I thought the Blues want a bit more depth (also Boeser is part retained), but if not completely understandable.

So SJ gives up Timo and gets a 32 year old UFA who is putting up 3rd line numbers? Come on, this is silly.

San Jose moves Timo for a 1st, 2nd and Tatar? Add Luke Hughes or Byfield and sure
Meier is on an expiring contract and so far hasn't shown signs of resigning- that significantly drops his value. Tatar can replace him for this season, which improves their lottery odds and brings a veteran in. Historically, the price for a high-skill winger rental (Meier) has been a mid-tier roster replacement, a first, and a second. This is in line with that.
