Other than drafting LaFreniere and offer-sheeting Barzal, I don't see how any of you other moves improve the team. Van Riemsdyk isn't an upgrade over Gudbranson and adding Johnsson and a third-rounder in exchange for the much cheaper Comtois and Jones (who both probably have higher upsides) doesn't help, either. Leave the Rakell-Henrique-Silfverberg (in that order -- you have the wingers on the wrong sides) and Milano-Getzlaf-Heinen lines intact. Comtois/Jones/Des Lauriers-Steel-Rowney is a good fourth line for the next season. If you're going to trade anybody, let it be Jacob Larsson, whom you've forgotten entirely but should be a reasonable commodity.
I, personally, wouldn't trade four firsts for Matthew Barzal, even though I think he's a great player. Nathan MacKinnon, maybe.
