In a normal market, I could see talks for Schwartz looking around that value. But in a pandemic and cap strapped (also real financial problems) world for most teams, I can't see St. Louis getting a 1st or a top prospect for him. Wilde could likely be had as a B prospect, but that'd likely be about it. Maybe a late pick around a 4th-6th added on as a sweetener, but you've got him overvalued here quite a bit.
I've actually thought that Bortuzzo would be a perfect fit for Carolina, and a low end pick might be what they're willing to give up because they'd risk losing him to Seattle (not that they would, but the risk is still there). So I see that as a good option and a very realistic deal for both sides.
The Montreal deal isn't too bad for value, although I'm not sure Montreal does it cause they'd very likely lose Dunn to Seattle in the off-season. Might need to take back a bit less for Dunn who's play has been up and done and will need protection.
As a Leafs fan, on paper I like the add of Sanford for the type of player he is, but there's just too much wrong that doesn't work for them. Sanford isn't really a top 6 guy that they've been looking for, and while I'd argue for you that he'd be a great fit beside Matthews and Marner and get more points, I don't think all the risks involved are worth this deal. Again, the risk of losing him to Seattle comes into play here. Along with I don't really see Engvall being made available this year. Their coaching staff and management have said they want a 3rd line as a shutdown line, and Engvall isn't a natural centre, but has provided decent value playing that role. His speed is key because he's the type of guy that can somewhat contain McDavid with it, but he's still more suited for a 4th line centre and could use some more development to be a 3C. If you were to change what you'd expect for a return, Sanford would be an interesting piece. But I don't see Toronto moving Engvall with no centre depth in the organization for the role.
Tampa deal is a meh. Don't see Tampa interested in Clifford. They already have Maroon there to provide the same role, and they just moved Volkov for cap reasons, which I can't imagine they did that just to go after Clifford. I could see them staying the course and waiting until Kucherov comes back.
Overall, not too bad logic on your part but I just think either the value is off or you haven't looked at the situation for the other team involved.
