Pasta

Or keep all those assets and go in on Forsberg or Gaudreau at similar (if not +1M higher)

Well Pasta is better than Forsberg and I'd rather have Pasta from 26-35 than Gaudreau from 29 to 36 making more, also theres no room for Turcotte and 1 of Vilardi/Kupari on this roster anyway

Walker doesn't really fit what Buffalo is looking for. They are much more likely in the market for a defense first RD to mentor Power and can play in the top 4. The guy Buffalo would want is probably Roy who LA wouldn't trade. Walker seems to be prone to injury the past few seasons also.

I doubt that we'd take less than a top-half third for Walker.

Pasta has not indicated he wants a sign and trade, if he is traded it will likely be as a rental, which the Kings aren't at the competitive level for just yet.

There is nothing drawing Pasta to LA, other than our upward trajectory, Forsberg on the other hand could play with his linemate in Arvidsson who he was upset to see leave. And Gaudreau can play in a familiar division. Forsberg, Pasta, or Gaudreau each would fit our compete window. But I really think the Kings won't bother with any of these players and focus on Chychrun, who they would need less assets to get and fills an area they need more desperately.
