I think WPG should trade them separately to maximize the return.
This is a good return but they could get more by making separate trades.

Quinton Byfield will not be traded per a very reliable source. Kings still have lots of trust in him and are expecting a breakout season.

The Kings will not be acquiring Helly as he would only be a rental.

So my thoughts are it’s not going to happen.

Also Arvidsson is worth at least a 2nd Round Pick.!

If LA trades for Dubois, it’s probably best for Quinton Byfield if he gets moved, and he’d get a great shot in Winnipeg. Not sure how fair the deal is — I’m not a great judge of value for either of these teams — but I think both teams would benefit from this trade.

If -- God forbid -- Blake makes the mistake of trading for Dubois, I hope that the deal looks like this.

A team that finished in the top third in goals scored last season and is already set at forward doesn't need Dubois, even looking down the road after Kopi retires (which ISN'T guaranteed to be after this season). But we do need Hellebuyck, as much as I'm against renting expensive players. (We made that mistake with Lucic and Sekera.)

I think it would be a mistake to include Byfield because they will still need another C of the future. They still have Turcotte and I think Kupari (not sure if he is ir projects to be a C) but best to have multiple shots. For Hellebuyck they should be offering futures in the form of picks and maybe they could add in Spence.

So, Vilardi+Iafallo+a 2025 2nd and a 2024 1st+Spence+a 3rd for Hellebuyck (since he's likely a rental), maybe can consolidate things and eliminate the 2nd or 3rd RD pick (maybe both) in the package. LA technically gave up Durzi for a potential deal here so it's a lot.

Breakout season slotted behind kopi. pld, danault

Byfield plays wing as well.
