There’s no chance the Kings take that a forward is way more valuable than a goalie

I mean, Guerin tells Blake to take a flying leap on this one too. You guys realize that right?

Sure, Byfield is a center prospect and all. So value swings his way over Wallstedt.

But you're still dealing with the arguably presumptive #1 goalie prospect in the world. Even IF Guerin was going to make a move to acquire Byfield, in the hypothetical scenario he'd be available, Wallstedt is NOT a piece that'd be on the table or available.

Byfeild is currently a top-line player in the NHL. Walsted may turn out to be amazing, but in the AHL the Kings had Matt Villalta (who they let walk this season) put up a better save % in the AHL than Wallsted last year. The Kings have Portillo as their high-level prospect, if they are trading a blue-chip talent (which they aren't), it would be for an established #1 at the NHL level.

I think a lot of what you said is exaggerated lol but simplified Byfield is 100% worth more than Wallstedt
