How good can he become ?

Will he be a starter goalie ?

How good can he become ?

A cup winner.

Yes, but not immediately. 2 seasons from now, probably.

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

its done.

You got sauces or something?

 

[start winnin]

I don't know why anyone had doubts he would sign, if you watch the way he speaks about the organization and the group here, it's pretty evident he likes the organization, none of his responses ever felt disingenuous. His head is screwed on right and he has the right mentality for a goaltender, so pumped for this kid, can't wait to see him on the ice for the Sabres.

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

I guess we shouldn't default to doom-saying conspiracy theories...it would be healthier for the whole world.

I think everyone has ptsd from all the conspiracies coming true over the last few years.

How good can he become ?

Will he be a starter goalie ?

Ryan Miller

Yes.

Catastrophizing is a sign of trauma.

How good can he become ?

Will he be a starter goalie ?

He can be a top-5 NHL goalie with some Vezina nominations. Yes, he can be THAT good.

It would be a shocking development if he isn't a legit NHL starting goalie in the future.

 

[Tsyolin]

Credit to Chad D who's been fighting back the doomsayers all season, and also correctly called the deal getting done by tomorrow.

Welcome aboard Devon, hope to see you get starts in Rochester.

 

[Chainshot]

Eight pack, not six.

40 inch waist?!?

 

[Chainshot]

40 inch waist?!?

BDE. Bulging Diaphragm Energy. That lad is build like a xylophone.

 

[GatorMike]

Congrats, Sabres fans. I've been watching Hockey East since its inception. In my opinion, he's as good as anyone that's ever played in that conference. I'd be shocked if he wasn't the answer you guys have been looking for in goal.

Good starter - no Hellybuck Howard Swayman next level

 

[Sabre the Win]

 

[Gras]

So @Ace has been awfully quiet

 

[ValJamesDuex]

 

[Chainshot]

I imagine Brock Faber will get that as will Alexander Nikishin. It's probably more timing than anything - Niemela is already signed but if that had been this year, it's probably the max deal.

 

[Genny Screamer]

Wait… I thought Pegula was cheap. I heard that Adams sucks. How can our future be bright if upper management is so inept? It must just be dumb luck.

 

[Jim Bob]

I just hope the Sabres don’t mismanage his development like the Panthers seem to have done with Knight.

Patience is a virtue.

 

[threeVo]

youre praying he hits those bonuses

 

[Chainshot]

Hopefully, his collegiate and U20 performances are predictors of his eventual ability in the NHL. Let's not forget that Hellebuyck took nearly 90 AHL games to get up to speed, Ryan Miller over 100 (and that's taking out the lockout AHL year). Patience folks. Patience.

Not saying there's a correlation, but I've never heard a Buffalo sports fan offering deepfelt gratitude that still another day passed without a Kuiper belt comet slamming into their specific GPS location on this whirling orb...

youre praying he hits those bonuses

We're all praying he hits those bonuses...

Another good comparison would be Dustin Wolf -- Calgary's similarly-sized 7th rounder who's about to play his 100th AHL game and hasn't yet debuted in the NHL.

 

[oldgoalie]

Hes signing today

thank you for your posts.

He is a year older and drafted a year before Levi. So, Wolf’s development path could be viewed as a year ahead of Levi’s.
