I love the Winnipeg trade! I think the "rule" that you can't make trades within your division is ludicrous. IF you are a competent GM, you should have no fear of making a trade with anyone, period! As an added bonus, an inter-divisional trade might help boost a rivalry. I do think Trouba will command more money than that...even if I do agree with your contract here. He plays about 65 games a season and, IMO, should be compensated accordingly. If he was an 80 game/season player, he would be in the market for $7million per. Brodin makes a lot of sense for the Jets too. After Morrissey, the left side of their blue line is pedestrian, at best.
No thanks on the Dadanov trade, at least for the reasons you stated. Panarin coming to Minnesota is unrealistic. He wants bright lights and a big city.
I wouldn't do your Foligno trade. I am one of the few that think he actually has some value. I thought he was one of the Wild's only effective players in the playoffs. His play down the stretch of the regular season was good too. Once he figured out/accepted his role with the Wild, he was a solid player...still probably overpaid by a million per season (thanks Fletcher!), but a needed piece on an otherwise soft team.
I absolutely love your Edmonton trade, but do agree with the others here that you would need to send more the Oilers' way. If the FLA trade was removed, maybe the Wild could add Nino or Zucker (I prefer trading Zucker) to the Oilers trade and then the Oilers might have to add a 2nd
