Your thoughts are solid.

Levshunov if drafted by the blackhawks is not ready for the NHL and will be going back to college. I believe they need to take Demidov there in my opinion. We don't have another elite top line forward prospect.

We need a veteran RHD but i dont think its Dumba.

Teuvo is going to want more than 3 years, i just dont think he is a fit.

Other than Leshevnov, this does seem pretty realistic. I agree w/ Jeep. Leshevnov goes back to college for a 2nd season if Hawks draft him. But I also think Demidov is the better choice. Not sure Turbo takes a 3 year deal unless Hawks up the salary quite a bit, which they could obviously do. Pretty solid job on this!

Demidov is great, my thought process was to draft the elite RHD this year as we are bare in that department as well, and then draft an elite forward next year in a forward heavy draft.

I hear ya about Levshunov. If drafted, in 2 years our D could look insane, see below. There’s also always the #19 pick from TBL. Could still pick up a quality F or RD at that spot too.

Vlasic - Levshunov
Korch - Jones
EDM/Allan - Rinzel

All of whom BTW are over 6 feet. Rinzel, edm, vlasic and Lev are 6’4” or taller too. Insanely big group of guys.

Turbo should’ve never left. I never understood that trade. I’d say he’s a fit for the team but 3x5 is not it.
