If Blake gives up any of Vilardi, Turcotte, or Kaliyev without attempting to O/S Kakko first, I will be pretty mad. Especially if Chychrun or a LD of that caliber isn't acquired first.

I agree Kakko should be offer sheeted, but the Kings have so many prospects that I don't want them to open that can of worms.

Kings forward prospects haven’t really done much. Byfield isn’t a good player at the moment Turcotte has been injured and hasn’t made a big jump. Vilardi Probably won’t be much of an impactful NHL player either.
