It's hard to judge especially when you don't know the circumstances (financial, competitive team, etc..) surronding the teams involved.

However, based on what you've said here is my opinion:

The Detroit-Atlanta trade is not very fair. Atlanta gets three top end prospects and a good young goalie. The only way I justify this trade is if A) Vokoun has not played well in Detroit and B) Detroit is going for a cup run and Paul Kariya is the missing link.

I think that is a lot to give up for Kovalchuk when Hemsky isn't much worse then him in that League and you are also getting a top four defenseman in Schultz who is very young. Mikko Koivu is also a decent prospect who already has a decent rating that he doesn't even deserve yet.

The LA trade is hard to judge because I don't know why they'd want Nazarov, but Dampy is a very serviceable player for a playoff contending team and Phillips is a srong, young defenseman.
