Levshunov, Nazar, Lardis, and a first for Quinn Hughes is fair given that Hughes is a perennial Norris candidate. For Knies however, that seems a bit too much despite his age, cost control, and production thus far. I would counter your trade with Rinzel or Kaiser and throw in a 2nd round pick as well instead of Levshunov. I would also like to know what the other franchises’ valuation of the Hawks prospects.

Thoughtful and timely ideas, Jay. While I’ve generally agreed with the Davidson Plan, we are reaching the saturation point for prospects. We need scoring threats and I’m skeptical that just waiting for the current prospects to mature is going to get three or more goals per game! At least not next year. Bedard needs a Knies type of player and Nazar needs a playmaker, goal scorer like Robertson. Nylander? Yikes. He needs to search through the teams who are ready to retool/rebuild. They want the prospects. We need goal scorers now!
