If MB somehow manages to sign both Tavares and Backlund, than that Pacioretty trade makes a bit more sense. Tavares and Backlund fix the offense / center issues, MTL still would have a load of left wingers, so use him to fix the defense. I'd try and just make it a 1 v 1 swap and remove the 2nd though.
I think the return for Shaw is on the weaker side, but I guess it becomes a necessity to move him for cap reasons.
Cap is tight, but you're still running a 25 man roster, so it can be manageable. all in all, looks good!
