Prospect Info: Devon Levi, G, Northeastern University (obtained in Reinhart deal) - Signed 3/17/23, Assigned 4/3/24

[NotABadPeriod]

I am a BU alum, from the DiPietro era.

My loyalty to BU hockey is close to the loyalty I have to the Sabres (grew up splitting time between Pittsford and Penn Yan, NY).

I never actually played organized hockey - I was a competitive skier and the schedules conflicted - but I spent many hours playing street hockey, and I always played goal.

Devon Levi had me rooting against BU with barely a twinge of guilt.

Alumnus from the Gilroy National Championship era.

f*** that shit, I wanted Levi to lose that game.

That was unfortunate, got caught out playing the puck.

Was a fun game to watch.

That's badass. Props to Adams for targeting this kid in the Reinhart trade. His potential is through the roof.

He seems back to insane good levels, good for him, not likely to get a Hobey (ala Miller) but a very good stretch.

The Beanpot final is Monday vs Harvard. Interesting note that the NE Women will also play in the Women's Beanpot Final on Tuesday vs BC.

ps I still see a occasional Canadians fan post junk about getting him and remind them its not the 1930's and they will not

I haven't been this excited about a goalie prospect in I don't know how long...since Miller, I think.

Same. He's tracking so well it's hard to wait.

With UPL starting to play well it hopefully let's us have some patience too.

i missed today's shitfest, so I'm not sure how this stacks up.

Weirdly UPL was both great and terrible in same game.

consistently mediocre then. a whopping .825 save percentage. Dr Jekyll/Mr. Hyde much?

 

[DustyZ]

How soon can we sign him?

Team gave up a ton of high danger shots and UPL had some huge saves.. then let in 2 or 3 stinkers.

Hey there Dusty.

Same as before - when his NCAA season is over. It's possible his team wins their conference playoffs and makes it in. It's possible they make it as an at-large bid if they don't do that, but it's far from a sure thing. If he's hot and they play reasonably well in front of him, the latest it would be is April 8th. Northeastern has been all over the map so who knows if they will even make it.

Shots were 30 to freaking 4 at one point at 4-2 and he was doing a good job to keep them alive, of course he's going to wear out after the dagger goal early 3rd, sure he wants a couple back by the end, but he is low man on the list of issues I had with this game

we need goalies to steal games for us. heroic saves and then giving up 3 shit goals doesn't cut it. jeezuz - they had 9 f***ing days off.

 

[Butt Ox]

The 5 v 3 in the mid 3rd (vs Prov) gave a good look at how relatively small Levi is, as well as how he battles to get looks. He is a gamer. I'm kind of excited too.

 

[start winnin]

I have no doubt that Levi will sign, but if for some reason he decided he wanted to join his hometown Habs or something else, I would be absolutely distraught...

 

[Ace]

I’d be more worried if he was from LA or something. Players don’t like dealing with the Montreal media circus (and fanbase). I have no doubt he will sign when his team is done this year.

That's him in a nutshell.

theres like 4 goalies in the league doing this now a days, its like saying you need a sidney crosby, ok you aren't getting 1 unless you're very lucky so stop asking for it

That's him in a nutshell.

its called modern goaltending

everyones pumped that league offense is up right until they talk goaltenders and then its how come he no steal games! half the league has below .900 save% right now
