A 24-year old player that has yet to crack the NHL isn't a prospect, he's a failed player. The Kings have several. The Kings already have two $4M LHD defensemen that they're trying to unload. They don't want/need another. No they don't want Rust either.
Make the prospect Hallander or Almeida and make the roster player Oleksiak and the Kings might do this. They're not going to retain salary in excess of $2M for the next 4 years though. You might talk them into retaining 10% if you throw in that extra pick.
