I would love an explanation on how any of these three trades would ever happen. Number 3 would be the closest to reality but the other two are out to lunch in my opinion.

Sure, I can break it down for you. Toronto wants to dump Bernier's contract and there is not much of a market for goalies right now. From everything I have heard they are not looking for any kind of special return, they just want to dump the salary. They exchange him for a goalie who has zero term after this season, thus shedding the salary. The other two are deals made by clubs with pressure to win it all this season. Don't kid yourself, the trade deadline will be an arms race this year. Trade #2 might see us also send something like a 4th as well with Russell but the main deal would be what was posted.
