Kings Still hoping

Thats giving up WAAYYY too much, would never happen.

Sure, it's a lot, but Saros is a Vezina caliber goalie, and they'd be taking back Petersen and helping clear cap space. I think it's probably a reasonable haul for him given Nashville's reluctance to move him and the current going rate at trade deadline.

For a top 5 goalie with term? Nah

Its intriguing. I just dont know enough about kupari to evaluate this. Whats his ceiling?

I'd say second line center as a ceiling, but probably more a 3rd line center. He's still young (22), still waiver exempt on his ELC, RFA without arbitration rights at the end of this season, he's really progressed each year since the draft. He's reached the point where he is a clear every day NHLer, but there isn't much room down the middle in LA (Kopi, Danault, one day Byfield (hopefully). I think he's really started to show his talent this season as a more everyday player. I think he would be better with more consistent linemates however, as Kaliyev and Grundstrom have both been hurt for chunks of time, and JAD, Lemiuex and Vilardi have all moved around the lineup as well. He's also been sent down a little this year because JAD isn't waiver exempt while he is.
