The signings seem in the ballpark, but I think Sean Walker is worth more even if he remains on the IR list until 2023.

I enjoyed the inside joke about the first two forward lines.

The Danault line was starting games as line 1 a lot of the time but its almost like having two really good second lines. I imagine it will be that way until Byfield is a clear cut #1 center. Hopefully by the end of next season/beginning of the season after. Kakko would be nice on his wing. Both big guys that can hold onto the puck. Maybe Chromiak or Kaliyev next to them at some point. Both are scorers that just need to find open space and finish off the offensive zone possession with a goal or scoring chance.

What has Kakko done to justify both Vilardi AND Turcotte as a return? If the Kings wanted to put Vilardi and Turcotte in a 'package', it could acquire a top 10 RW. Kings can't do that though because they still have a LD to trade for.

I would love to see a Kempe Byfield Kakko line, but not at that cost.

Its an overpay. Maybe they could get Kravtsov in the deal also. Kakko is showing flashes and will break out next season.

Can’t see the Devils trade being remotely possible but I’m sure that’s an easy accept
