Turcotte, Kaliyev, and Vilardi are all top-5 prospects for the Kings who might be too much for a team, The Kings will offer something like: Turcotte, One High-Level Prospect (Thomas, Madden, JAD), One NHLer (Walker, Athanasiou, Grundstrom, or Wagner), a 2022 - 1st, and 2021 - 2nd. I understand that Eichel is worth quite a bit, but his injury (wishes to see his own doctors), his comments about management, and failure to reach the playoffs as the cornerstone of the franchise has his value at rock bottom, if another team can beat this offer (they probably can) and I think the Sabres should take it, but very few teams have both a top center prospect and $10M in cap space during a flat cap to facilitate this trade right now.
