I don't think it's a bad starting point. A little light on MN's end. Schmaltz -Dumba makes some sense for both teams-- especially if MN sees Schmaltz as a center. Raanta as great stats, but is a durability question mark. Stalock is just another guy (but he's cheap). They just gave Hill a one-way deal, so I suspect he's AZ's back up. If they trade Keumper, maybe they'd roll the dice on Dubnyk again? Demers is worth substantially more than Sturm, imo.
Schmaltz is only owed $3M this year. Demers has $2.6M remaining. Raanta $2M. When you factor in replacing them in the lineup, it's not as though they are shedding a ton of salary moving any of those guys. They probably want futures or a pure hockey trade.
A name like Greenway might interest AZ with Armstrong's comments about getting bigger in the bottom-six. A guy whose buried like Donato they might see some value in. Picks would probably be attractive for Demers and Raanta. I think there's something to build a deal around, I'm just not sure what it is.
