I would strongly suggest that all four of the players WILL be NHLers. And probably something like
Boeser: top 6 forward, perhaps even top line
Virtanen: solid 3rd liner, 2nd line if things go great. Not a huge fan
Joe Levi: Top 4 dman, perhaps a #2
Horvat: Elite 3rd liner

The Flames have people at all those positions, in optimal age ranges, minus the top RW prospect, who you even admit may not even be that.
I just can't see how that trade would favor the Flames at all.
One player does not make a team, but having at least one top end talent at each position is a must. The only one we're missing is RW. You make this trade and we're missing RW and LW, with a bunch of maybes. May be in the cards for a team that's about to hit a decline and we were talking about a 30 year old JG, but we're not. It's imperative to retain him.
