The future for Levshunov will begin soon, as he was asked during his 1st interview as a Blackhawk when he expects to report to Chicago.

Levshunov plans to arrive as soon as possible to Prospect Development Camp on Monday and begin his NHL career in Chicago.
Levshunov a two-way defenseman, who has great skating ability and puck moving skills, will be popular in Chicago, but may not be a Blackhawk for another year plus due to him still 'unsure' of returning to Michigan State or not, postponing his signing with the organization an entire year.
He can hit, shoot and be a threat when needed to be.
The Blackhawks scored a huge piece at 2nd overall this year.
Levshunov played 38 games with the Michigan State University Spartans, scoring 35 points( 9 G, 26 A).
