Unlike others here, I'd say from a neutral standpoint (not a BUF fan or any team listed above), that all your trades have a good starting point. I wouldn't say they're all fair value, but I wouldn't say they're preposterous either.
1. COL trade I think is the only one preposterous. Bogosian's value is lowered quite a bit in general, and those two prospects offered seem to be nobodies as far as my research shows. You'll have to give more for a blue-chip prospect.
2. OTT trade isn't too far. I think Okposo has more value and could work one-for-one, so this should boost a team like OTT into elite cup contention. Otherwise, Kane and a 1st for Chabot can also work, if you want to go that route. After all, Chabot's value is a touch more than Sergachev's was, and Drouin is worth more than Kane (and possibly even Okposo, but that's debatable).
3. NYI trade makes no sense. I know they need a goalie, but they'd probably be unwilling to part with their best center prospect (something they also really need). They're better off plugging the hole at G with a backup for Greiss (or trusting Halak), than creating another big hole at C.
4. PHI trade should be at around the right value (maybe without the 2nd rounder, debatable), but doesn't really match their needs. It seems that PHI is going through some youth injection rebuild or whatever you wanna call it, as they have a lot of decent youth in the pipeline coming up and want to build a championship team with them within a couple years. Konecny is part of that plan. Try finding someone closer to contention who may want Okposo/Kane's services.
5. CBJ trade doesn't make much sense. Scandella's value isn't very comparable to PLD's as a 3rd overall pick. PLD is essentially a blue-chip prospect, and those require blue-chip returns. Scandella is decent, but not top pairing material, so no deal.
6. For Georges or Pomminville, those trades are of course quite feasible, but you should think long and hard if you want to go that path of lengthening the rebuild and lacking veteran mentorship. If yes, then trade away.
