You’re seriously overestimating the talents of Alex Iafallo

ok - i get the fit here and i like the idea of going at this guy. He does have more value this year given he is on a good contract for two years. Still, this is not a first line guy outside of LA, and as such does not get that return. Where LA might require an overpay to pry him out, we are talking something like Sanford and a 2nd or Barbashev and a 4th

Really? The talk of the town for Kreider is a first and Sanford. Iafallo is a better goal scorer, which is what we need at left wing. He's also signed for next year at a very cheap contract. Swapping Sanford for Iafallo gives us more scoring for an additional year at roughly a $1.5 million bump.

My thinking is you add a poor-man's Jaden Schwartz at an extremely reasonable cost. If the thought is not to move Kostin, perhaps a guy like Toropchenko is moved with Sanford instead? Add to that he is signed for an additional year.
