Value wise, I think this is about right, but NSH declines because they aren't the right pieces. I like Spence and think he would be great in NSH, but a puck moving RD isn't a huge need for NSH. Kaliyev is also good, but NSH's wing pool is already way too full and Kaliyev would just be another option they have to consider. Kaliyev would be competing with Tomasino, Kemell, Evangelista, ****emo, and from what looks like Parssinen as well (he has been skating on the wing with Forsberg and O'Reilly during preseason) for a spot on wing, and it just doesn't make for NSH to trade a top 5 goalie for pieces they already have covered.
What NSH really needs is a top center they can build around. If LA wants Saros, I personally don't see a route for that to happen without Byfield being in that trade.
