I really don't think this is good for San Jose. The Anderson and Gallagher contracts are significantly bigger headaches than the Vlasic contract because of the extra years. A 2nd and (2) 3rds isn't enough to take on either one of them with how many years they have remaining.
As for the other players coming from Montreal, I don't think SJ wants them. Harris is completely redundant, Primeau is ok but doesn't add a ton of value and Tuch is a 22 year old who probably won't play significant games in the NHL. I don't have anything against Primeau and maybe SJ would want him in a different trade but I wouldn't take on a bad contract to acquire him.
Overall its a lot of small pieces for taking on two big cap headaches, and not a great use of the cap space we gained in the Karlsson trade.
