-Terrible deal for the Isles. Center is one of the few positions where they have strength (Barzal/Nelson at the top of the lineup with Raty coming soon), so trading a 23 year old RD2 who'll push 50 points *again* this season for a pending UFA center who needs an extension and will struggle to match this year's production is a bad use of assets. Horvat's older, already more expensive and primed to be even more so, and creates a hole on one part of the roster to fill a hole that isn't really there.
-Blues pass. Beau is an overpaid third liner at this point and will probably only move out as a "change of scenery" type trade. The Blues aren't going to look at him as a key piece to acquire in a Tarasenko deal, and I can't see them being all excited about not getting a 1st back, either.
-Assuming you meant this to be for '23-24 - I can't see Dumba taking that much of a pay cut this summer. He's been a solid, dependable top-4 player for years; he's going to sign for more than what Nick Leddy did last summer.
-Fair value for Varly but barring a major injury to Tristan Jarry I don't see PIttsburgh spending big on a backup - Casey DeSmith is already on board as a reliable backup if Jarry needs a night off.
