How about Petrovic + McGinn (IR 3.3M pending UFA) + Borgstrom/unprotected 2019 1st for Braun + M. Karlsson + 2nd
The value to San Jose is turing a 2nd into a first (or Borgstrom) along with 2019-2020 cap space to help sign E. Karlsson. For Florida, they get a huge upgrade from Petrovic to Braun, at the cost of probably 30 positions in the draft and some cap space next year. (Melker is bit overpaid 4th ligner but still serviceable, so slight negative value).
Would definitely prefer it be the 2019 1st instead of Borgstorm but even then, I don't like the unprotected part of the 1st either. No thanks.
Pesce and 1st
For
Barkov.
I'd do Huberdeau + Pysyk + 2020 3rd for Pesce + 2019 2nd
Trouba for Trochek
or
Trouba and Ehlers for Barkov.
Barkov is a no go, he has top 5/10 player potential, just named him Captain.
