Since then he played 23 mostly good games in the ECHL, 13 mostly good games in Finland, and 24 mostly bad games in Rochester through 2 years of COVID. How about we let him play 50 in Rochester this year, and see where he is at at then before we make any judgements? That’s the reasonable and measured thing to do. Not everyone has that mindset. Hence the negativity. 1 Quote

We're allowed to judge him based on what he showed in the preseason... which wasn't even decent, it was terrible. He had a full offseason to prepare. For a guy who the franchise has been hyping up as the future in goal, was very very concerning to say the least. That said, he'll need to show more than just flashes of ability at the AHL level before we start talking about him as a potential future starter in the national league again.

My thoughts on UPL are that the chances are likely that he’s no longer an NHL prospect short of him being one of those weird cases who is only good at the next level but can’t perform in the AHL. Like i said i have nothing against the player but having a player like Lundell already playing at a high level at a position we're weak Would have made us a stronger team going forward Quote

Other than the fact he’s not a center.😂 Yeah thats a major need in organization seeing how we lost both in 1 summer . Buffalo is back to forcing players that are good number 2 or 3's in a role that they will not succeed i see that with Cozens and casey Quote

We have no problem shifting our hopes on Levi due to a small-ish window of games, see no reason that practice can't be applied to the other goalies. We won't know anything about 'em, for real, anyways until they are seeing consistent NHL action Goalies are like corn flakes 1 Quote

And it's right to be concerned. What isn't right is to say UPL is ***** and will always be ***** based on a couple dozen AHL games. 2 Quote

Should never be ruled out completely when still at such a young age. Quote

I had my head ripped off for disputing it. Good Times😃 Edited November 16, 2021 by Flashsabre Quote

What isn't right is to say UPL is ***** and will always be ***** based on a couple dozen AHL games. I think this is disingenuous. Nobody is saying he’s *****. I think I might’ve went the farthest in saying I don’t view him as an NHL prospect. It doesn’t mean he’s *****. I’m just not projecting him to make it at the next level. That’s fine. Different opinions are okay. He’s been undeniably bad as a pro in the AHL and NHL with over three dozen games logged. He was good not great during his time in the ECHL. This isn’t a recent development. Edited November 17, 2021 by Hoss Quote

Between injuries and Covid-19, he's a product of delayed development and his story has yet to be told IMO Thanks for that perspective. It does seem like this year in Rochester is the one that will tell us a lot. Quote
