Yikes! I think you might be over-valuing your players just a bit. Kane and Dillon are both good players, but their value isn't nearly high enough to grab two young forwards that are just getting their feet wet by adding a couple of mid-round picks (or receiving a young prospect goaltender in Dillion's case).
I'm also not 100% sure you need to send off Kane after he's found a spot on Hertl's wing (Correct me if I'm wrong) and you signed him to a massive contract (which likely was a bit of an overpayment and could be hard to move). He's entering his 'prime' at 27 and you definitely aren't going to get a player like Konecny back for him in a trade without adding in something big yourself. In Dillion's case, you could likely get a 2nd rounder or maybe a 3rd and a mid-tier prospect back from a team looking for depth on defence as he'll be a rental. I'd be worried if SJ tried to sign him long term and he wanted more than his current 3-3.5m as there's already 27m wrapped up in Burns, Karlsson and Vlasic.
