LA having the assets doesn't make it any less of an overpayment, they would probably very likely a better team not doing your trade, thats how lopsided it is
I don't know, the only difference for 2021 would be Dubois in over Vilardi ... Kaliyev is a year away maybe 2 if his skating doesn't improve a little bit, Madden 2 or more years away from NHL ready and what's his ceiling 3C? 4C? & with the LAK C depth, Faber likely 3 years away.
Granted the Kings are rebuilding so there's no rush, but with all the assets at C, Vilardi, Byfield, Turcotte, Kupari, Thomas , Madden ... you tend to trade from your strengths ..
The Kings get the best player in the deal, he's already a proven NHL commodity & again, he's 22.
So lets keep Kaliyev out.
Vilardi C
Kupari C
Faber D
2021- 1st (lottery protected for 2021 would move to 2022)
