Absolutely, positively not. MIN needs to rebuild; their window has passed with the current core. The only aging guy who'd still contribute in a future Cup run is Spurgeon.
That MTL trade is too risky for MIN, as Domi is coming off a down year and Mete is still a huge unknown.
That's far, far too much for Cirelli, especially considering that his value is lower than it normally should be due to Tampa's desperate cap situation. Cirelli is not someone to build your team around, either; as it stands, he's best used as a 2C.
The Murray trade is good on paper as long as we move Dubnyk. I'd rather we retain and trade him to a team who loses out in this year's goalie UFA market, but if we get desperate, I can see your scenario happening.
Staal will never recapture his magic from 2017-18, but he's still a capable 2C and could fetch significantly more than that at the trade deadline.
EDIT: Sorry, I didn't read the description. I can see we had the same idea!
