Prospect Info: Devon Levi, G, Northeastern University (obtained in Reinhart deal) - Assigned to Roch 11/18/24

[Jim Bob]

I guess his NCAA equipment met NHL compliance requirements.

Nope.

He talked about it in the interview with Biron.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

Though at 58, that might be more of a curiosity.

would he still be eligible for roty?

 

[Team Cozens]

So what is the chant going to be??

LEE VI would sound great.

 

[oldgoalie]

what the f*** is taking longer? Immigration or equipment updates?

There's no rush. The process takes however long it takes.

He'll practice eventually and get a game or two in by the end of the season.

Well, the visa issue is keeping him from practicing with the team.

The equipment piece would keep him from playing in a game.

"the process" - been there, done that...though our process had to include school records and background checks. I doubt Levi has to go through that crap. it seems that others that were waiting on immigration didn't wait this long... (I can't recall who it was on the team that had this issue before Levi).

The USCIS is backed up to an otherworldly degree. I've had students not be able to return to school because their paperwork doesn't get finished in a timely manner, and USCIS has a full year to renew the paperwork for these kids.

If Levi was a normal person and had a normal job, he'd likely be waiting months.

Stillman had to go through it after the trade.

I wonder if him having had a student visa actually makes it trickier?

A game or 2? I'd like a handful

He's never been through this immigration process. School visas are much easier and have a lower threshold for documentation and less process.

The NHL probably does not manage this either, they probably use outside counsel so they don't f*** it up.

It is a change in status to a level up. That usually entails a different level of review. Trickier? No, the process is largely defined. Longer probably due to the fewer sets of eyes at higher levels.

Much easier to just work illegally

[Sabre the Win]

He's so short compared to the goalies today but he makes himself bigger in net than UPL.

 

[old kummelweck]

Looks like a bunch of them stuck around to shoot on him.

OK, let's say the visa doesn't resolve prior to the end of the season.

Does his contract still burn a year off the ELC?

 

[elchud]

Took my wife 2 months for a routine green card renewal with no issues, she just got it in the mail today as a matter of fact.

Nice to see Greenway out there putting in some extra work after the official practice too.

 

[oldgoalie]

one task down, one to go. come on CCM...

They need to go to the league office first to be evaluated.
