Short and long term cap issues to negotiate there. Personally I'd pass on the Evans trade. Decent but that hole can be filled cheaply enough short and longer term. Moving RyJo out is necessary in this scenario but I think there would actually be more takers than most fans want to believe though the Avs may still have to pay to move him and get nothing in return. Frost is my second choice to Novak though it's possible neither the Flyers nor the Predators will want to move either one of them. The KK deal is solid enough and I'd go to a third there if necessary I think, especially as that would be available if Frost costs more, as I would expect. As others have said however...... Ritchie should be off the table.
