Should've added a description before publishing.
STL trade makes sense for both teams. Cap isn't moving and STL has approx. 2M in cap space. Dunn can get them more but we're taking Allen off their hands to free up $$$ so they can sign Pietreangelo.
Pietreangelo will get at least 2M raise alone which doesn't give them any more room for Dunn. One way or another they're going to loose him with an OS or trade. Adding Allen gives them 4.35M in cap relief. Then adding Mete (resign approx. 1.5M/year) and Lindgren (750K), still leaves them with approx. 2M in cap space.

Based on the comments, I've reverted the PHI and OTT trade as I agree Chiarot and Kullak area better 3rd/4th LD option than Gotsibehere and Oulette.
DET trade for while getting a lot of comments is quite simple.
DET has the WORST D in the league and they need some stability on their back end until they're younger prospects are ready to make the jump. While Alzner may have been bad in MTL / Laval, he can provide them some stability and play top 4 D pairing minutes in Detroit for a couple of years until their young prospects step up. Having salary retained and giving up a 3rd rounder isn't such a tough pill to swallow for Detroit.
