Quoting: BUF10
This is the exact opposite on what they will do
Quoting: Kyle_Okposo_Lover
Sabres should just roll with UPL and Levi/FA backup who is a 1B caliber...
Quoting: Stadel
lol wut?...
Sabre fans need to chill.
Levi could be in a Sabre uniform as soon as next year and maybe even this year.
He is 21 now and will be 22 Dec 27 of this year, just three months into next season.
I have not done extensive research but:
Hellebuyck was 22 yo when he made his NHL debut, look at his college stats see how well they mirror Devon's.
Price was only 20 yo when he won his first NHL game.
Saros was 21 yo when he became a back up Gk for NAS.
Fleury was 19 yo when he suited up for the Penguins and 21 yo when he became the starting GK.
Sure some GK take longer to develop, mortgaging the future on a GK who may walk after one year is not sound business.
Who knows maybe Devon will be the Sabres Bennington, or do as well as Hammond did for Ottawa.
