People only see the immediate fallout of what went where in these trades. I'll reference the Hamilton for Lindholm and Hanifin trade. Soany here thought it was a horrible trade on the face of it but as you dig deeper the trade quickly became much better once all the pieces were put together .

The Avs not only got Necas and Drury and the picks (which they didn't have many of in this draft so recouped some draft capital) but they also got 13.84 m in cap flexibility to add much more to their roster. If you're gearing up for a cup run, that flexibility to add is invaluable.
