To be honest, this seems to be a lot of stuff San Jose doesn't want, mixed in with one or two pieces of note.
Mantha is someone who could be awesome yes, but I doubt a team still years out and in the midst of a rebuild would want Mantha in place of picks/prospects.
Same for Mantha with Sheary, but with a lower ceiling and even less incentive for San Jose since he's a UFA to be and will likely have a team or two willing to overpay based on production alone.
Same x3 for Gustafsson, he's produced really well in DC but he's also 30 with an expiring contract, I highly doubt a rebuilding team would look at him as a long term replacement over their prospects.
Same x4 with Snively, who looks great in small samples but realistically maxes out at a 3rd liner and is also 27, he'd only block San Jose from playing better prospects.
All of the guys I just listed (minus Snively probably) could get you decent returns from other contenders, but a rebuilding team like San Jose is likely uninterested by older wingers and defense, especially when they can hunt for players similar to Sheary, Gustafsson, Snively in free agency if they really want to.
Lapierre, the 1st, and the 3rd could all be pieces that San Jose would actually consider, but given the supposed asks from New Jersey and Carolina, Washington would have to add at least another strong prospect (ex. Miroshnichenko, Chesley) or another 1st round pick to maybe get themselves in the conversation, and I don't see Washington taking a risk like that with the playoff situation the way it is currently.
