Couple thoughts.
It cost NYR a 2nd to get rid of 1 yr of Staal. So 2 years of Boychuk plus NYI are in a more precarious situation will hurt more than you've proposed.
Ryan Murray got a 5th in a trade, and he's still a legit top 4 option. Leo like Boychuk has negative value, it'll take a 2nd or a 3rd to move him somewhere.
Pulock is 26, I have a really hard time seeing him take a 2 yr bridge deal (also not smart for NYI to let him become a UFA @ 28), and if he does take a 2 yr bridge I'm thinking it would be $4M min.
Also, wouldn't that 4 yr deal to Barzal walk him right to UFA @ 27 yo (that seems like a bad idea as well).
