The Perfect Human*

Hey Oilers' fans. I wanted to run by a trade proposal involving the Kings. Since the Oilers need veteran presence with stanley cup experience, and the Kings are looking to get younger, I was thinking of a trade of Jeff Carter and Dwight King for RNH and Yakopov.
The Oilers get a second line center that scores 20-30 goals regularly and is fast in Carter, and Dwight King, who is a 10-15 goal scorer, great on the cycle and defensively responsible winger. Kings, on the other hand, get two young players that have skill and upside with the proper development. Consider Carter/King and RNH/Yakopov have close to equal stats (with Carter being a more proven goal scorer), this seems like a fair hockey trade.
Thoughts?
I would take that trade for the Oil, heck ya. We need to start bringing in good vet top six fwds like Carter if we want tangible improvement in our top 2 lines. Right now there's too much inexperience. Tho there is talent, it's the blind leading the blind right now in the top 2 lines. King would be good for the third line as well.
