Any Marner-to-Los-Angeles trade has to be cap-neutral for the Kings, and that means not just covering Marner's $10.9 million cap hit but also $1 million for each open roster slot created by sending you guys value and cap. Here, you're $9.2 million short on Marner (because right now, as a RFA, Vilardi isn't counting against our cap space, which is $7.5 million without him) and $1 million short on the guy who's going to take his roster slot (say, Rasmus Kupari).
