I want Ayton gone as much as the next guy, but shuffling the deck chairs around with expirings doesn't really do anything. Just let Ayton play out his contract here and let him go.
Great trade idea, as long as there is a subsequent trade for Knecht. Would Chicago take him for our pick back? I like this one as well. Although I'd rather get Huerter over Collins. Maybe make it a 3-way like this: What picks need to be moved around?
