they basically came out and said he chose school. HE said he wanted to go back to school.

And I quote

"“Devon just wants to play hockey,” said Marco Raimondo, Levi’s personal goalie coach for the last four years. “That’s what people don’t get. In 14 years of coaching, I’ve coached a lot of kids. And everything is always about making the NHL. It’s not like that for Devon. It’s different. With Devon, he just wants to be the best goalie he can be, he wants to play hockey and he wants to have fun doing so. He’s not results driven. That’s what is going to make this guy special.” "

most teams are choosing a young cost controlled goalie over a journeyman.

I don't think there's anything wrong going into a season with Askarov and UPL. They could maybe get more worth if we sent Comrie back instead I guess.

I don't think so. Speculative sure, but I think you can get him without a 2022 1st.

If they're tearing to the studs like the Preds fans want they wont run a rookie goalie with a bare team

LeBrun says Sabres have real interest in chiquorin (no poop) but the price is still unrealistic. Chad follows up and says they've contacted yotes at least three times and Billy is being a chode.

If they're for real about trading him at the TDL, the Sabres will be back in serious talks.

As a few here have confirmed as well.

I dont have the Athletic so I’ll take your word for it. This also doesn’t mean management didn’t agree that it was the right destination, especially with UPL starting in the A, and seemingly was the plan for this year. Either way, the “he’s afraid of competition” is dumb

You think you're getting a top 5 goalie for a top prospect and thats it?


They'll get a ransom for Saros. And deservedly so.

Maybe. Maybe they'll buy a vet and keep Askarov in the AHL for another year. Who's to say.

Two more years till UFA. Timo was supposed to get a ransom. He got a crappy first, an ok prospect and a collection of paperclips.

Someone pointed out that Chiqourin could file a grievance against AZ for holding him out of games for trade reasons and then not trading him.

Saros to Buffalo for Portillo, Johnson, a 2ND, and throw in Vic

This isn't NHL23 on supereasy mode

Based on Kevo's words, they offered Levi a contract and said, whatever you want to do is fine.

Kevo I find is pretty straightforward for a man of his position. He tells it like it is. I'm paraphrasing, but he said Levi can do what he wants. They were ready to sign him, he said thanks but no thanks, I want to compete in school for another year. They said cool, we'll talk in season.

They'd laugh at both. Hes a top goalie in the league you are spending more premium assets than a first

Him and his agent want this resolved. I would be hard pressed to believe he's ever back in a Yotes uni. Would be crazy to me. Him going back is toxic.

5 garbage picks.

I would bet my house that Saros doesn't get much more than that offer (in total value)
