you lost...get over yourself...no amount of pivoting or nonsensical personal attacks will change it...
- Michael Pachla

I lost what exactly?

You purposely attempted to change the point I made in an attempt to debate Ristolainen

I never once said I was unhappy with his return specifically. I’ve said I was thrilled with it.

I said I’m frustrated and surprised between the two trades they didn’t get an NHL ready player. That’s all


Now go back to yelling at the sky about numbers and analytics

Reinhart wasn’t getting those guys so your point is invalid dood.

Stay on one path stop going all over the place.

Either what we got was good or it isn’t there’s not in between cutting corners.

We got a top prospect and a first for a rental.

Tis all.

based on?

Can anyone find me where Levi is considered a top NHL prospect other than here?

There is if you are a normal human who can understand nuance and understand a simple point that wasn’t black and white

But we’re here I guess so whatever

His numbers tell the story.

His top goalie honours at the WJC’s.

He’s a top goalie prospect man.

So then why deal him now?

I just don't get that trade at all

And it's a long shot Devon Levi is a good NHL starter someday as all goalie prospects are long shots

- sbroads24

Because then you have disgruntled Samson in your room full of the “next core”, possibly until the trade deadline, when you ultimately trade him for pretty much what you just received?
Other GMs probably told him this is my offer, or you can have the scenario described just above. Think this is playing a role in GMs’ offers for Eichel, they know Adams doesn’t want this guy around anymore (despite his saying that he’s good with it), and are trying to see if he will crack and lower his ask as training camp nears. Hopefully Adams calls all of their bluffs and gets a solid return for Jackiepoo.

What prospects were we getting that we’re going to help right away?

Remember it’s for Reinhart….

Shoot away.

We got a prospect and a pick.

What prospect would you have liked in that trade?

Comtois?

Uhhhh Turcotte and a second. Cause they weren’t giving the 8th

A recent Devon Levi writeup.

Stop being down on a player simply because of draft position. Goalies are voodoo.

Why bother, you are not interested in hearing the truth. I love Levi as a prospect. Had one of the best WJC in the history of WJC and broke Carey Price's record.

I was just reading that.


NHL Potential
Levi has the drive and the skills to become an NHL goaltender. His height might be the one thing that holds him back from reaching the highest level. However, if a team takes a chance on him, I see him becoming a decent backup or borderline starter in the NHL.

because there is no truth, everything I have found basically calls him a low ceiling goalie.

Was that before or after his WJC? Imagine what scouting reports said about Lundqvist and Datsyuk? LOL
