The 2024-2025 Roster Thread

Swayman simply had better stats than Levi did in his 1st post college year. Levi just hasn't earned it yet baby imo

Swayman was a year older AND he only played 19 games across the AHL and NHL. If anything, Swayman's development suggests it'd be fine for Levi to play in the bigs this year only getting 30 or so games as a backup.

As an aside, Reimer is way too good to try to squeeze through waivers.
The way I see it, You have two options:
A) Send Levi to Rochester
B) Carry 3 goalies

I think Reimer is a better than any goalie we have had not named UPL or Levi in the last decade, to say hes not starter material is right but to act like hes some never been is a far cry. He's a very quality backup and one we should be able to fully trust when he gets the starts.

 

[Matt Ress]

But why? We can push Levi up, lose a depth goalie which hurts a bunch of prospects in Rochester for what? There's already a young #1 in Buffalo. What's the hurry? Levi will get NHL opportunities this year without having to blow up the goalie pipeline.
