Let them flame out like the tire fire all things Boston should be. Then bring him in and see how good a Dryden impression he can muster. 1 Quote

It would be awesome if he drew in to a game, won convincingly and stayed in the net. Conn Smythe, Stanley Cup and Calder Trophy the following season is a pretty high bar. 2 Quote

DarthEbriate Posted March 9, 2023 Report Posted March 9, 2023 I want Levi to succeed. But I want that success to start with a 1-0 loss in which the puck that gets past him is deflected off his defenseman's skate. Northeastern is not invited to the Frozen Four tourney. He signs with Buffalo the next day. Buffalo sends UPL down to Rochester for "one day" to give Levi a game. Levi posts a shutout. Granato can't keep him out of the lineup. Levi goes 10-1-1 down the stretch with the Sabres and leads them into the playoffs. Then, I don't want to get too greedy after that. 16-3 in the playoffs. Maybe? 3 3 Quote

msw2112 Posted March 9, 2023 Report Posted March 9, 2023 I'm looking forward to having Levi be part of the Sabres organization and think that he could be the future starting goalie. But let's not create too many expectations on the kid right away. He has not played a signed minute of professional hockey. While over the decades, there have been occasional goalies who have come in at a young age and been stars right away (Ken Dryden and Tom Barasso have been mentioned above), it's not realistic to expect that of Levi or any college goalie coming into the NHL. Could it happen, sure...But it's more likely that Levi will need a year or more in the AHL before he is ready to succeed at the NHL level. Hopefully, the Sabres can bring him in, see what they have, and gain enough information to help guide their goaltending decisions over the summer. Assuming Anderson retires, are they comfortable going into next season with Comrie and UPL as the tandem, with Levi in the AHL? Is Levi a realistic candidate to make the team next season? Do they have to shop for a veteran goalie over the summer? These are the questions that need to be answered. If they are not, the organization is going to be in a real bind. 1 Quote

Yes he had, but in large part because he didn't want to be a true "full time" hockey player. He thought, correctly, that it'd be easier for him to attend McGill law school playing for the Voyagers than playing for the Habs. 3 Quote

pi2000 Posted March 9, 2023 Report Posted March 9, 2023 He could be a Sabre as early as next week if they bow out in the Hockey East quarterfinals this coming Saturday against Providence. As of today NE is currently ranked 17th in pairwise (Providence 23rd). Typically the top 16 make the Frozen Four national tournament. A loss Saturday and their season is over... a win and they keep their hopes alive, but will likely need to at least advance to the HE finals to keep their Frozen Four hopes alive. 1 Quote
