Don't know where to start ... minor issues like: Vorobyov is signed in KHL, Patrick + Myers will get more money and Philly will have to add in the JVR + Ghost trades? No time for details because imo there are some major issues:
Your 7th d-man will be lucky if he can continue his career in the AHL next season (due to injuries he played 28 games (NHL+AHL combined) in the last 3 years and imo next injury is career ending). That isn't necessarily a major problem. But u send Sanheim to the Flames, replacing him with Hagg at 2nd pair and pushing Zamula into the NHL. So maybe (a lot of "maybe" imo) Zamula is NHL ready, u have the "problem" that hagg is a 3rd pairing d-man and Zamula has to replace Sanheim. That "problem" would be acceptable if u can pair him with a strong partner on right side. But u decide to sign Shattenkirk (at 4.5mio for 4y). So let me get it ... we move out Ghost (27yo 4.5mio AAV) in a trade where we have to pay to bring in Shattenkirk (the same type of player except he's 4 years older and a right-hand shot) at the same AAV? i don't get it ... maybe this defensive downgrade would be acceptable if we can improve our forward group ... but no, u decide to pay heavily for Gaudreau. Don't get me wrong ... Gaudreau is (was?) a superb player (maybe no franchise guy) but imo a kind of player we already have at the same position (G).
So let me sum up: u're paying picks + prospects to downgrade the d-core without upgrading the forward group for 4mio cap space? ... i don't like ...
