I like your first 2 trades
NJD deal feels like its just a trade for Lemieux as thats his value and you attached Drouin to it.
Also Condotta and Richard are clutch
Richard is 3rd in AHL Goal Scoring after losing 1st in the AHL when called up and is 3 goals off the lead
Condotta is Matt Martins cousin and a Energy guy who use's his smarts to draw a ton of penalties while being a very productive memeber of one of the deepest goal scoring teams in the AHL which was huge for MTL last year on their ECF run with half a ECHL team and additions from other leagues like Condotta out of the NCAA. He's a smart and sturdy Goal Scorer who works along the boards growing to be one of the more dependable Laval Rocket Players beside former QMJHL Jean Beliveau trophy winner Abbadanato they changed things for Laval after the loss of a lot of their players to permanent call ups in MTL or were traded. At worst he's a quality replacement as Captain in Laval for Belzile.
Ylonen , Belzile , Mitchell even Schnarr could all go and despite their contributions Teasdale , Condotta , Abbadanato , and Mysak would rise to the occasion .
But Richard/Abbadanato are the Caufield/Suzuki of Laval with ridiculous Chemistry that made Richard an AHL All Star which the AHL said :
"The 2023 AHL All-Star Classic will feature the top young talent in the American Hockey League: since 1995, more than 94 percent of All-Star Classic participants have gone on to compete in the National Hockey League, including Cam Atkinson, Drake Batherson, Patrice Bergeron, Jordan Binnington, Jack Campbell, John Carlson, Logan Couture, Thatcher Demko, Denis Gurianov, Connor Hellebuyck, Tristan Jarry, Kaapo Kahkonen, Jordan Kyrou, Jonathan Marchessault, Jacob Markstrom, Brandon Montour, William Nylander, Kyle Palmieri, Mikko Rantanen, Dylan Strome, Linus Ullmark, Vitek Vanecek and Mats Zuccarello."
