I think the concept is reasonable, and I agree with the VAN trade (I've put up different iterations of the same trade myself). VAN needs cap space next year, and the year after, so parting with a G prospect (1 of 3 that they have) to give themselves around 7.5mm of cap space next 2 years should get them through the Lou recapture and the buyout (which total around 5.2mm).
As for the EDM deal, I don't think Russell is the type of guy they should go after. They should trade Helm (and Glendening) for picks with retention, and try to sign a guy that needs opportunity rehab (Tyson Barrie) for a year.
