I know this is with hindsight, but after seeing Hemed play live twice, and his performance at the end of this season, I'd be a lot more upset with him leaving than Davila.
That's not to say that I'm not upset with Davila leaving, but Piscopo can potentially step up into that role (I also have confidence in the club finding another import to replace Davila). But Hemed has just looked amazing live. I would put him only below maybe Jamie Maclaren in the current comp, and above any other striker we have ever (except Krishna).

I am old enough to remember Shane Smeltz. But Hemed is pretty much in a class of his own. Krishna could not take a penalty to save himself.
Hemed, Hooper and Smeltz are classic strikers, in a ball in the air sense, predators in the box, put themselves about sense.
Burnsy, Ifill and Krishna were more forwards running on to through balls or with ball at feet, coming in from wider out. In fact, Wee Mac played a false nine there for a while. Krishna and Davila would be closer in skill set and area of operation imo.
Not absolute division for sure, but
