I'd rather see Parse moved instead of Moller as well, but I feel that Moller would be more coveted by teams due to his higher ceiling. Whereas Parse is better suited as a third line guy who can chip in, Moller can turn out to be a top six forward (which I believe he will become). But in order to get a player like Lecavalier, I think a young prospect would have to be included along with a proven forward.
Yeah, I agree that Moller will be coveted more than Parse but we can compensate for that by upgrading propspect(s) or pick(s) in the trade.
Exchange Stoll with Richardson & exchange Purcell with Moller. Let's face it, Purcell does not have any value.
Stoll is a deal breaker for me.
Again, NTC, 7.7 mil cap hit for 10 yrs, Limited amount of teams, TB is in a position of weakness.
In order for LA to make it work, I think Stoll has to go. They have to clear some bit of salary and make room at center. I would hate to lose Stoll as well and prefer they give up Handzus before Stoll. But to get a #1 center like Lecavalier, unfortunately, Stoll has to be part of the deal.

The kings have the room to keep all of them. Frolov, Zus, Williams, Clouts & Macauley's contracts will be coming off the books. The only 2 players that need extensions are Doughty & Simmonds. Everyone else is tied up for the next 3-5 years and prospects such as Schenn, Hickey, Teubert, et al will be on entry level contracts.
Let's be real, Richardson will be no better than Army. It is time to start competing for the Cup instead of thinking about salary structure. The kings have it under control.

Why would the Kings tie up all those resources in four top three centers?

Because it adds depth & it will put them in contention for the Cup. Futhermore, DL covets centers more than wingers. Plus, Zus' contract will be off the books in the after next season. Trust me, the kings are well positioned.
This is all nonsense anyway, according to the lastest news, VL is not going anywhere.
I would prefer a Vinny and a Poni type of deals over Kovy.
It likely is until Kovalchuk is dealt. Nobody knows how viable those rumors were in the first place given that Vinny is infinitely more complicated than Kovalchuk. I would wager that he doesn't get traded though. I don't think an ownership change would result in him being traded.

I will be really surprised if he's moved at the deadline. There will probably be a slim chance he's moved at the draft. But, if they didn't trade him last year before the NTC kicked in, I don't see them trading him at all.
