I know I did not just see a Zac Jones for Phil Kessel trade...

I don't see any way you get both Turcotte and Vilardi from LA. You say that Vilardi's value is at his lowest, and that may be true. But the same argument can be made for Chychrun's and his -29 season. Replace one of them with one of Grans, Spence, or Faber, and maybe I can see LA being interested.

I really really don't want to move Chychrun but I think I would be fine with this.

Not Faber. I'd counter:

Turcotte + Nousiainen + Walker + Maata + 1st + 3rd for Chychrun

Just gonna continue on with my day assuming you didn’t mean to value Larsson at a 2nd.

Oilers need depth scoring. Not sure how moving a 2nd round pick for a guy with zero goals is the right move.

Grossly overvaluing your man here

I'm a Kings fan high on our prospects and players. But there's just simply not enough value there. Nousiainen is a small-ish defender with a low chance of making an impact at the NHL level, and Walker's well past the wrong side of 25 which does nothing for a team that has just started the rebuild phase.

They can pick one of Grans or Faber, who are close to NHL-level ranks with high 2nd pair upside on both of them, and should be counted as that "high-quality prospect". In addition, both are about a year away from possibly making the jump (Grans one more year in the AHL before his call-ups start, and I'm assuming Faber will only need a single year in the AHL after he's done with college this year). The other positive for Arizona is that it helps them rebuild all sides of their team, not just the center ice position.

And don't get me wrong, I like Faber alot. But with Doughty, Clarke, Roy, Walker, Grans, and Spence all in the pipeline. Any one of them not named Doughty or Clarke are expendable to me. If Faber's the guy they want, fine.

Fair enough, I'm ok with losing Grans but big on Faber and Kirsinov as the next wave of shut down defenders for this team. Eventually, we do need to get our blueline cheaper if we are going to pay Anderson and attain a top LD, I see one of Walker or Roy being moved to make that work.
