I can't imagine any universe where that Vancouver trade happens. First off, Trouba doesn't waive his NMC for Vancouver. If, for some reason, he did, the value here is just abominable. We can quibble about the Trouba/Chytl/1st for JT Miller & OEL package (I think it's weak tbh), but on top of that you're asking Vancouver to carry 4 years of a $3.63M dead cap hit and all you're giving them is a late 2nd round pick and a guy who every team in the league knows you're trying to dump because your coach and GM pissed him off so bad he went back to Russia? No way that can happen.
If all you're offering for Fiala is Kakko, someone else is going to beat that offer. And if Fiala is signing for 8x$6M, he's staying in Minnesota - the only reason there's any thought that he gets moved is because he's most likely asking for $7.5-8M AAV and that's just gonna be too tight for the Wild.
You're paying the Islanders to take Nemeth off your hands - they can easily sign a more talented LD2 for the same cap hit in free agency.
I don't know if you'd need to give up that much to pry Donskoi out of Seattle, but a guy who's literally put up 2 goals in 74 games is a target? I know positive regression should hit him, but there's probably half a dozen guys you could sign as a bottom 6 forward in UFA for ~$2M who can give you his type of production and then you can keep your prospect & pick package.
