TIL that Switzerland has beaches.

And he fought Snoopy in WWI.

Here's where I am right now, after digesting this for a bit: My problem isn't with the prospect. It's pretty obvious that he's going to be a huge hit or a huge miss, and I like it. My problem is only somewhat with the pick, because I don't like the lottery protection. (The Sabres have been burned before, and waiting two years for a major part of the consideration is too long.) My problem, really, is that it's a prospect and a pick. A player and a pick? I would have been fine. A player and a prospect? Also fine. But this is just too little, even if Reinhart is just a rental for Florida. If this was the best he could do to date, Adams should have hung on. This deal would have been available tomorrow or next month. If Reinhart is telling the truth, Adams could have negotiated an extension with him; if Reinhart is not, Adams could have just accepted whatever an arbitrator set, or dealt with an offer sheet. But he blinked--AGAIN. He didn't learn his lesson from the Hall trade, I guess.

I misremembered that he was, because of the other thread. I guess not!

Danault is going to be incredibly overpriced.

He's going to have to get some C help in free agency, too.

I can't spell that. EDIT: Thank you @steveoathfor making it copy-pasteable.

He was the best 19-year-old goalie in the world for those 7 games ¯_(ツ)_/

What core? Ullmark can babysit Cozens and Mittelstadt and Dahlin while we wait for them to become the core.

Because the Sabres were burned recently by this.

As am I. I was convinced by many people here that C is more important, and lived that way for a while, but I have renounced that lifestyle now that I've watched the last few years.

I think Levi would have been a first or second round pick this year. Started for Canada at WJC and won goaltender of the tournament. Everyone who is looking at him as "just a seventh-rounder" is missing the fact that he exploded on the scene after the 2020 draft.

He might be ready. His numbers at WJC were better than Price's.

Now that's interesting--they already have played together.

I think he has a Persian rug store on Elmwood.

Frankly I'm more excited about him than any of the draft picks. This guy could turn out to be nothing, but if he turns out to be Something, it's going to be a Something with a capital S.

Well, starting now, I'm a Devon Levi fan. He's the most exciting goalie prospect we've had since Miller. (Yes, I think he's more exciting than UPL.) Let's have a thread for him. https://www.sportsnet.ca/world-juniors/video/canadas-devon-levi-top-goaltender-world-juniors-history/ https://www.si.com/hockey/news/underestimate-devon-levi-at-your-own-peril

Levi better be amazing.

Who has played ten years in the NHL.

Screw it; I'm taking a nap.

It's looking more like 100%.

All the wikipedia nerds reversing each others' edits on the Reinhart page: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Sam_Reinhart&action=history

NHLN: "There might be a trade in the works," didn't even mention the teams involved.

Yeah I clicked the link, Thorny! I want to hear from people who may have watched him.

OK what do we know about him?
