I like these trades, make a lot of sense. I agree that for Edmonton the Lucic and Russell contracts are their biggest issues but the Spooner contract may be the one they are most able to move, and their cap issues are immediate as well as long term. I think Spooner could find his form again in Montreal under Julien, but if he doesn't they can waive him and bury him in Laval - he'll come with his cap hit but only for one season, but that would be worth the 2nd. If he finds himself in the offseason and demonstrates he has value to some team next season but doesn't quite make the Habs, maybe he,d be claimed on waivers and free the Habs of that cap commitment. Otherwise he can be a leader in Laval, which that team needs to help groom the prospects there.
