Big moves to fix the core. Lose prospects for the ability to lock up the core and put ourselves in better roster flexibility for years.

In Order the logic :

Blues trade : Thomas would be the center we need long term, but his 8.25m cap hit while fine wouldn't help us gain flexibility. Perreault + Othmann are an A prospect and an A+ prospect, including the first for a significant amount of retention.

Ana Trade : Zegras for Mika 1:1
Surprisingly this is the easiest for both sides.
Mika gets a younger more energetic team, with some wingers who have a bit more step, he's able to play without the same level of pressure he faces in NYC as well. He'd be a bit of veteran leadership for the ducks, who need it, plus playing with Carlsson might be a good incentive.

CBJ Trade : they've got a solid core, but they need some veteran leadership and lindgren gives that. They'd be giving up a solid prospect at the same position, but you can't expect to improve while only playing kids and they do need an example.

Hanafin takes a pay raise, but not a huge one because he hasn't had a fantastic season, and he's a top 4 d, and the flat cap has kept salaries down to an extent.

Kakko signs for 8x5 for security but given NMC for years 5-8.
