The issue with this is not the players that are being dealt, its just that three-way deals are extremely rare in the NHL. There have only been 4 three-way deals done since the 2011-12 season and only one of which had anything significant being moved (that being the duchene deal).
In theory they should happen more but, its extremely difficult for GM's to get them done because the middle team in the deal always need to be getting a big sweetner from the other two participating parties who don't want to be getting rid of more than they have to. A big deterrent for them now is that duchene deal cause colorado was the middle man and got a ridiculous haul as a result. So thinking that 2 three-way deals could happen with one team in a single year is just not realistic in the slightest
