-Chicago deal feels like quantity over quality. Chibrikov, Heinola, & the 1st/2nd gets you really close; I think Appleton would be negative value for Chicago as a 27 year old bottom-6er with term, Lundmark isn't really anything more than depth at this point in his career, and AJF is a waiver claim that Chicago could've had if they really wanted him. If you need to move Appleton to make the cap work, I think you just add another 3rd/4th instead of piling up mediocre contracts for the Hawks.
-Just give Arizona a 4th or 5th for retention. Gawanke is a depth guy who probably tops out as a 6th/7th D; Vesalainen isn't even playing in NA anymore and didn't do enough while he was here to make his rights super attractive.
-Islanders pass. If they're going to move Mayfield, I assume they target the Josh Manson package as a return (a 2nd and a prospect from a team's top 5). Stanley isn't anything to write home about, Moe is a college guy who probably just waits til this summer and chooses where he signs, and a 5th isn't really anything to get excited about.
