Karmanos would jump out his seat if Blake made that offer.
Take out Vilardi and either of Iafallo or Kempe and it would be closer to fair IMO.

How hard?
Quoting: tkecanuck341
Byfield > Power
Vilardi, Clarke, Iafallo, Kempe, + 1st is too much for Eichel.
Bad trade for LA.
Here is skinny
Power >=< Clarke, I would take Clarke as he is a RHD
Iafallo was born in Western New York, has four years remaining at only $4KK/yr and would be a great piece to have if the Sabres were competing next year as he can also PK, but he will be 28 in December and he his age may be at the upper range for Buffalo management.
Kempe is another really good piece, he is a center and he can also PK, Buffalo needs help in this area.
While they only scored 13 and 14 goals respectively, those totals were 2nd and 3rd most on the Kings team
IMO, that is a significant over payment for Eichel.
On a personal note, Shibbal likes to reject any trade and gives Buffalo fans a bad rap for over valuing Eichel.
Eichel for Eichel for Byfield, Iafallo, 2022 1st round pick (LAK)
Kempe is younger but Iafallo is signed for a longer period.
Power for Clarke
IMO Buffalo should have traded down to get an extra pick and pass on Power and draft either a RHD or RW.
What do I know, those are the areas where they need prospects.
