To SJS: (+0.983 million)
Chychrun
Khudobin
To DAL: (-0.583 million)
Burns at 5 million (3 million retained x 4 seasons)
Barabanov
Cogliano
To Ari: (-0.40 million)
Klingberg -flipped to a contender for 1st/prospect
2024 1st from SJ

SJS does this because they want to rebuild their D, Burns is still valuable, Dallas is likely on his trade list, and at 5 million he's valuable to a team. Barabanov and Cogliano are not in the long-term plans. Sharks goalie depth is bad, and Khudobin may help that, or just help balance out the cap aspect. Chychrun is young, a LD who can provide offense. Sharks top 4 looks like Chychrun-Karlsson, Ferraro-Merkley for the foreseeable future. Trade fits a retooling team.
Dallas does this because they get a Klingberg replacement at 5 million. They also get some forward depth for the playoff push this year. They get Khudobin off the books too, frees up a little more space for next year, re-sign Barby or Pavs if you want to. Pavs and Burns together again could be fun. Trade fits a contending team trying to extend their window.
Arizona does this because they get a 1st from SJ in 2024, which is a gamble for SJ, if they're still bad that could be a very high pick, plus a good forward prospect, and likely another 1st/prospect for Klingberg to a contender. Trade fits a rebuilding tear down team.
