Fairly good all around.
I like the idea of a Ristolainen for Drouin swap. Especially with Weber likely out it gives Ristolainen a spot on the second pair behind Petry and it gives Drouin a chance to be the go to guy in Buffalo to get more touches on the puck.
McCann is a good option for a new 3C, although I don't think Pittsburgh will have much interest in Kulak or any defenceman as they have plenty of options there - unless they moves out at least 2 bodies back there, it just doesn't make sense. But maybe a mid round pick like a 3rd - 4th or so and the rights to Joel Armia would be better though. Gives them a big defensive body that they could use in their bottom 6 if they can reach a deal.
DeAngelo - stay away from. Any team he signs with will likely be a low market team. After all the BS he's caused and been through he wouldn't last in Montreal with the media so it's not even worth trying when you can find cheaper, better 3rd pair options that don't cause so much BS.
Georgiev just doesn't make sense but a 2 year backup does if Allen is taken by Seattle. Primeau should be ready in 2 years and then you're stuck with 3 goalies to deal with. So a guy similar to age and experience to Allen is what's needed - which is why I highly think Bergevin pulls off a side deal to get Seattle to take Byron over Allen, I'm thinking 1 of those 2nds and a prospect like Mysak or Fairbrother.
Overall a fairly good job though, just tails off a bit to the end.
