Prospect Info: Devon Levi, G, Northeastern University (obtained in Reinhart deal) -Recalled from Roch Jan. 18th, 2025

The second picture is him bathed in red so obviously they know he’s getting traded to Montreal. This is as concrete a set of dots to connect as their media does.

Just hinting at him in the AGH alternates.

this run cannot be good for his confidence, I'm sure that they are chomping at thr bit to get him out of there now.

Hopefully, he shakes this stretch of play off quickly. Goalies have to have goldfish like short term memory. f*** it, and move on.
But getting him out of that league and into the pros would make me happy.

I don't know that he's the type to just up and ditch his team mid-season like that. LaFontaine did last year but Levi seems like a kid who will stick to his word and ride out the season for better or worse.

Agreed. Battling through a little bit of adversity though could be beneficial for him as well. That team is a bit of a tire fire right now, but maybe he can slow the bleeding (except for the Beanpot, of course).

 

[Chainshot]

He's not going to leave his teammates. But I don't see how they are going to make the tournament with how they are playing.

yeah, I wouldn't expect that he would. I hope he rides out this season without losing his spark.

Levi embracing adversity at Northeastern | Buffalo Sabres

Sabres prospect was named the Hockey East Goaltender of the Week for the 2nd time this season

www.nhl.com

"This year there's been a lot of adversity which has been great," Levi said. "It's really good to be able to face the challenge and know that you're getting better. It's been a great season and the adversity is making us better. It's why I came back to play college hockey, to experience the highs and the lows."

He's mentally ready to play for the Sabres.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

Has good ring to it.

NEU and Merrimack have puck drop right now on ESPN+.

If his team doesn't make the NCAAs, very well could finish this year as our backup goalie behind UPL

Seems unlikely that he would wind up immediately in Buffalo for extended time.

He probably get "A" game though, no? Assuming he signs to burn a year that is.

I fully expect him to get a game, yeah, to start the clock on RFA/2nd contract.

I don't think there's a doubt that he'll get one maybe two games at the end to burn off an ELC year.

But he's not going to be our #2 goalie.....this year or next.

standard finish the year in the NHL. Get's a month of NHL play and a couple of games

So Northeastern is currently atop the Hockey East standings. Granted, Merrimack and BU both have a game in hand and would pass Northeastern with a win...but it's certainly not out of the realm of possibility that they could get a tourney bid especially if Levi can get hot in the conference tourney...

They are so infuriatingly inconsistent. Thought they looked great tonight (Levi with 32 saves in the 5-1 win). I have no idea what to expect from them any more.

They'd need to go on a real big hot streak to have any chance at an at-large bid...but they're well positioned to make a run at the Hockey East championship, and we all know what a hot goalie can do in a single elimination tournament (still wish HE kept the best of 3 for the opening rounds...).

Soon the dream of carrying four goalies will be at hand

UPL Comrie & Levi.

I think Portillo is gone & this is Andy's last season
