K-9 Posted October 3, 2021 Report Posted October 3, 2021 Devon Levi has a palpable Ryan Miller vibe. Let’s hope that holds true between the pipes on his way to a stellar 18 year career. 2 Quote
French Collection Posted October 3, 2021 Report Posted October 3, 2021 This guy is on a nice trajectory, he may turn pro sooner than I thought. I know, one shutout does not a season make but it is a great start for your first NCAA game. I like him a lot (Canadian bias) and want to see something good come out of the Reinhart deal, even if it is years away. 2 Quote

Player of the game. He is where he always should have been , 2nd pairing D, and at the moment he appears to be thriving and Philly fans think he was a steal. 1 1 Quote

Huckleberry Posted October 9, 2021 Report Posted October 9, 2021 This kid really needs to pan out, would make the trade at least a bit more balanced. Quote

He sure does seem to be athletic enough to overcome his small stature. Will be very interesting to watch his progress the next couple of years. Would be very sweet to have that Reinhart deal actually pan out. (Way to early to say it will, but it might.) 2 Quote

Eleven Posted October 30, 2021 Author Report Posted October 30, 2021 Shutouts are usually partially a product of the defense and partially a product of goaltending. 4 shutouts in 7 games, though, is impressive no matter what. Quote

Didn't he have 3 shutouts at the u20 too? Basically his last 14 games have been on par with a prospect like Knight or Askarov Quote

WJC: 7GP, 3 SO, .964 S% NCAA 7GP, 4 SO, .944 S% He’s got 7 shutouts in his past 14 games? Who does that? 1 Quote

Maybe people “in the know” just recognized that Levi was becoming a very high end goalie prospect, as opposed to “a 7th round goalie”. Quote

A Reinhart signed to term is still significantly more valuable than a goalie prospect, years out. Even with Levi looking as promising as UPL did a couple years ago, the trade in only palatable in a “market” sense, to me. This GM and the fellow before still failed to achieve the best scenario, a signed Reinhart Quote

At this point in time it looks absolutely shocking this guy fell to the 7th round. What were the scouts missing? It’s not like he wasn’t that good and slowly turned in to this over 5 years. He was drafted literally a year ago. Quote

This breakout sample size is ridiculously small Anyways, who’d you rather have, Reinhart to term, or Devon Levi? As I always say, goalie prospects are nothingness until they are actually starting capably in the NHL. Their numbers are often all over the place. Wasn’t UPL ranked as the top goalie prospect in the world for quite a period of time? Edited October 30, 2021 by Thorny Quote

The thing is Levi's numbers aren't all over the place across 10 months and 2 entirely different teams You are right, it is a small sample. Edited October 30, 2021 by LGR4GM Quote
