Boys are back
I like most of the trades, but I don't think the Lindholm deal is very realistic. Maybe the value is about even, but the Ducks (who are already looking to deal a good Goalie) would have no interest in Malcolm Subban, especially with a 2017 expansion draft reportedly set in stone.

What could the Bread Man bring?
The Leafs wouldn't go for it. That's a 1st line winger, a middle six winger, a depth defenseman, and a salary Cap anchor for the 1st overall pick (who is a Stamkos/Tavares/Eichel calibre prospect).

Another Idea (Taking Into Account Expansion) Pt. 1
I know this sounds nuts, but an expansion draft might make it very important for the Blackhawks to keep Bickell's contract. As I explained briefly in the comments of your mock protection list, each existing franchise will be required to leave unprotected players representing at least 25% of their salary. As is, the Blackhawks would need to leave Anisimov or Hjalmarsson unprotected to comply with the 25% rule without violating any NMCs. As I also touched on in the other thread, it is possible for the Blackhawks to circumvent this rule; however, trading Bickell (who will likely have the highest salary of any Blackhawk left unprotected) could make it impossible.

Getting to Finals...Comment Thoughts
This might be the closest thing to fair value I've seen for Fleury. That said, I don't think the Penguins would give up both a the Ducks' 2nd and a 2017 3rd in that deal. Maybe it could work if Pittsburgh gave up their own 2nd, and you threw in another 3rd or 4th rounder. I also think the Penguins would be interested in taking Jamie Oleksiak on as a reclamation project (like they did with Daley and Schultz), which could add just a little more incentive for Pittsburgh.
Just curious: why did you buy out Niemi and not Lehtonen? Sure, a Lehtonen buyout would carry a bigger Cap hit than a Niemi one, but you'd still save more Cap buying out Kari.

Expansion Draft Protections
As the Blackhawks organization currently stands, this protection list would not be legal. <a href="http://espn.go.com/nhl/story/_/id/14987657/nhl-gms-preview-potential-expansion-draft-rules" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">A potential expansion draft would require each team to leave players representing at least 25% of their salary unprotected</a>, and this proposed list protects over 75% (based on Capfriendly's projections). The only way to change that (without violating any NMCs) is to leave either Anisimov or Hjalmarsson unprotected. However, I think that, between now and whenever the expansion draft is, the Blackhawks will blatantly circumvent this rule by signing about a dozen fringe-NHLers to 1-way, 1 year, 950k contracts and immediately sending them all to the AHL. This would allow them to keep Anisimov/Hjalmarsson because it would drastically inflate Chicago's salary, and they'd be able to do it because when a 1-way contract is demoted from the NHL, the contract's cap hit (up to 950k) is erased. I believe (though I'm not sure) that these players would need to clear waivers when demoted, so the other teams could theoretically claim all of them and drive Chicago's salary back down, but I doubt that they would so blatantly conspire against another franchise.
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Lly</b></div><div><i>If [the expansion draft] happens in 2017-18, [Panarin would] fall under the "2 year pro minimum" rule and thus not be eligible for the draft</i></div></div>
I don't think this is how the "2 year pro minimum" rule will define "professional" seasons, although it is not yet clear. Though Panarin will only have played 2 NHL seasons at the end of next year, he has played several seasons as a pro in the KHL. As defined in the CBA, the term "Professional Games" includes:
<div class="quote">Quote: <i>any NHL Games played, all minor
league [..] games and any other professional games played, including but
not limited to, games played in any European league or any other league outside North America,
by a Player pursuant to his SPC. </i></div>
Under this definition, Panarin (and other players in his position) would be still exempt at the end of 2016-17 because his professional KHL seasons were not played while he was under an SPC (Standard Player Contract) with the NHL. Conversely, William Nylander (and players in his position) would be eligible for an expansion draft at the end of 2016-17 because he signed his ELC a year before he came to North America (meaning that not only his 2015-16 and 2016-17 NHL/AHL seasons, but also his 2014-15 SHL season, would be counted as years of professional experience.
However, the definition of 'professional experience' agreed upon for the expansion draft is -- according to the article I linked above -- much more broad:
<div class="quote">Quote: <i>[Only] First- and second-year pros -- including those playing pro hockey at any level -- will be exempt from the expansion draft.</i></div>
This makes no mention of players having to be under an NMC for international pro experience to count, and while it is possible that the article simply omitted its pretense in the expansion draft rule, I think it is more likely that (for the expansion draft) European pro experience will count regardless of a player's contract status at the time. The main reason I say this is that in the most recent batch of expansion drafts, there were players selected (for example Michal Bros and Sergei Luchinkin) who never played in North America and who -- according to the hockeyzoneplus.com database -- never signed NHL contracts.

Possible Fleury trade (Pit side)
There is no way the Penguins would do this. They'd be giving up one of the better starters in the league for a hideous contract and a 25-year-old goalie who hasn't panned out in the NHL despite extensive opportunities. The Flames would probably have to pay the Penguins to take Wideman; they definitely wouldn't give up Fleury for him.

The prices for players are pretty reasonable, but I don't think the term on those contracts would be advisable for the Devils. I don't see stop-gap guys like Boedker, Schlemko, Demers, and McGinn getting 3+ years from a team that doesn't really know what its future looks like. I also don't think the Devils are planning on giving Smith-Pelly 3 years after only 18 games with the team, and (as sad as it is), I don't think Elias has anything left in him. Even if he does come back for 2016-17, it will be on a one-year contract.

If you save Cap by letting Buff <em>and</em> Ladd go, you may as well splurge and sign Trouba and Scheiflele long-term (instead of giving them bridge deals). I also think it's redundant to retain Hutchinson if you don't ship out Pavelec.

I like the Tlusty signing, but I don't think Zacha (who is supposed to be a very raw and unseasoned player) would be on the roster, and with the team having as little chance at the Playoffs as it does, the Slater signing seems kind of unnecessary.

WSH Deal
I'll give you points for creativity on the Washington, but the Capitals would more than likely view Holtby as more valuable than Fleury, Kuznetsov as a ton more valuable than Wilson, Carlson as around as valuable as Letang (because of Kris' injury history), and Ovechkin as at least almost as valuable as Crosby.
As for the other trades, I don't see why the Devils would want Scuderi, or why the Penguins would trade Sutter if they could lower their Cap hit as much as you hypothetically did with the Caps trade.

You get points for creativity, but Campbell and Jokinen both have limited NTC's , and while I don't know just how limited Jokinen's is , Campbell's is fairly restrictive, calling for him to submit a list of 8 teams that he would accept a trade to. I'm also not really sure why the Jets would need Jokinen, especially if they sign Tlusty.

The Devils wouldn't want Chara, and the trade makes the Bruins objectively worse; Chara is still a bonafied #1 or 2 Defenseman, while Elias is a rapidly declining Forward and Merrill is a Top 6 D-man with a Top 4 ceiling.

Either you're underestimating the value of a 2nd-round pick, or overestimating the value of Kevin Poulin.

I don't think Ottowa or Chicago would accept those trades. Hoffman is a much better player than Gelinas and Shaw is worth more to the Blackhawks than a 3rd round pick. I know Chicago's up against the Cap, but Shaw only costs $2M a year and they'd trade Versteeg or the rights to Kruger before they traded him.

Overall, it's realistic, but if Enroth doesn't sign with the Stars, it'll most likely be because he doesn't want to be a backup, and he certainly won't take a salary that low.
