It looks like White can win an Exchange, albeit in a way that I really doubt I’d see during a game.
1. Nf6! Kxf6
1. … Qxf3 2. Nxe8+! K~ 3. gxf3
2. Be5+! Kxe5 3. Qxe4+ Kxe4 4. Re1+ K~ 5. Rxe8 and White will also snag one of the Bishops.
I agree with you Jashua, 1.Nf6! is the killer.
1.Nf6! KxN
2.Be5+ KxB
3.QxQ+ KxQ
4.R31+ Kf5
5.Re8 Be6
6.Rxf8 Bxa2
7.Rc8, followed by 8.Rc7 should be winning easily
