I don't understand the logic in your additional details section. Iaffalo would very likely be left exposed with the Leafs, having just as good a chance of being taken by Seattle (by means of negotiating a contract) as he would if he were left exposed by the Kings. If Iaffalo wants to stay a King, that's completely in his hands, so long as the Kings want him back. If they truly believe that he does want to return, I understand the want to get assets for a player that will just re-sign with you in a few months, but I don't see the impact of Seattle in this scenario.
