Isles trade is intriguing but I'd want to take out Palmieri & spence+the 2nd and throw in Wahlstrom and a mid-rounder instead. Palmieri is a Long Island boy with a 16 team NTC and a toddler here - I think Lou lets him ride out the contract without moving him 3,000 miles away (I'd also assume his 16 team NTC is 7 Canadian teams + the 9 furthest west teams at this point.)

I'd move it around to:

NYI gets: Kaliyev, 2024 1st (#21OA)
Kings get: Varlamov, Wahlstrom, 2024 4th(#124 OA)

I feel like we could get lost in the weeds on the picks, but I think Wahlstrom & Kaliyev cancel each other out, and Varlamov for the equivalent of al late 1st rounder would be fair. Maybe instead of the Isles sending a 4th, they send their 2nd (#50OA) and LA sends back their 4th on top of the 1st? Regardless, there's the bones of a decent deal hiding in there.

Also: Jordan Spence's profile is wild. Born in *Manly*, Australia, with dual Canadian/Japanese citizenship? There is one hell of a story there.
