WTF a goalie drafted in the 7th round+ late 1st gets you SR? Risto literally got kings ransom this league is so confusing

Levi looks very promising. Believe he won Canada gold this year at WJC
Quoting: Ledge_And_Dairy
Canada didn't win
Canada took the Silver.
Levi was a brick wall in net.
0.75 GAA and 0.964 SV% over 7 games.
Dobber ranks him very low https://dobberprospects.com/team/florida-panthers/ giving him almost no chance of being in the NHL.
He did not play a single game for Northeastern University this past season, but he did excel the previous year the Carlton Place Canadians.
8 SO 1.47 GAA 34 won 2 lost 1 tied and a 0.941 SV%. https://www.hockeydb.com/ihdb/stats/pdisplay.php?pid=226016
Maybe he is ranked low because he is listed as 6'0" which is now considered short for a GK.
So if he is not a GREAT GK prospect Florida got Reinhart for cheap.
If he is a solid NHL GK, then it was a fair trade.
Because he is in College, Buffalo has several years before they need to sign him as he will not be in the NHL for several years.
If they wait too long, he could take the Cal Peterson path and opt not to sign with Buffalo and become a free agent.
Buffalo did not draft a GK this year, so I presume the discussions were near completion, just debating about the draft choice.
Getting him in a trade is a little strange, because, I presume they are close to signing Ullmark as they did not move him at the TDL plus they have Erik Portillo and Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen in the pipeline.
I guess one can never have too many GK prospects..
I thought I was clearing up the mess, but maybe I just muddied the waters. LOL
EDIT:
I forgot to add.
When I saw what Buchnevich returned to the Rangers, I knew the return for Reinhart would be poor.
