    I thinks the man deserves a thread for the 2022-2023 college season +++

    The man is off to great start already

    3 GAMES. 3 WINS. 1 SHUTOUT

    Devon was awarded Goaltender of the week, yet again,  after posting a .947 save percentage and a 1.01 GAA over the weekend, not to mention the shutout.

    Hmmm https://www.collegehockeynews.com/players/career/Devon-Levi/56133 states he has a 1.33 GAA.

    I still see a bit of upside with Asplund. The player he can be similar to is Lehkonen from the Avs. Pesky, hard on the forecheck, solid penalty killer and potting some goals.

    I see him eventually settling in as a homegrown 4C, providing he gets better at draws and can handle the 200’ responsibility.

    He sounds like an ideal 3rd liner with that description, I don't see why people have him ahead of JJP. As to me JJP has more offensive upside.

    Leafs fans and media members here in Toronto are angry they lost him.

    He is a guy who knows his role, his strengths and plays to them well. 

    6’2 208lbs, plays the body, plays aggressively in the d zone, very good on the PK.  Blocks shots. He will be a fan favourite without ever really contributing offensively. Think Rhett Warrener/ Jay McKee type.

    Leafs played him with Reilly and was a good ying to Morgan Reilly’s yang.

    I think he would be a good match for Power.

    I was thinking more Bob Boughner. I think he's a good bottom pair Dman but still like to see a top 4 RHD that can pair with Dahlin or Power that can get us 30 points a season.

    Who was the bonafide guy that wasn't going to cost a serious asset(s) that was an actual realistic option (aka Campbell was not coming here)?

    Instead of tossing a swap of 3rd rounders in the Eichel trade and have some fore thought. That could have used that could use if want a RFA like Jake Oettinger. This team can afford to trade a 1st or more picks considering we just had three 1st Rounders last week and a few more young kids developing. I'm tired of waiting for unearthing another Miller.

    The way i look at it is he's in our system now. If Comrie had been developed all along by us in the manner he was in Winnipeg, then with his 19 game sample size last year we'd be looking at him to take this next natural step. It just so happens that before today it was with Winnipeg & today its with us.

    Since we needed a goalie desperately, however we got to this point he is our guy now. And im relieved we did something & with a player who at the very least is on an upward development track & not a declining one.

     

    He's a better long term answer than Anderson or Dell or Subban for that matter. I'm not upset with him in the group yet it be nice to have a bonafide guy that can put in for 60 games and not look back which we've lacked since Miller.

    Pretty much, I don't think they can afford anyone else unless they move one of the forwards for a goalie to free cap space.

    Their front office appear to be high on Murray and believe his flaws can be fixed easily because many in their coaching staff and front office were with the Soo greyhounds in the OHL when Murray was there and know him well

    I'm sure that because our goalie coach worked with Murray in Pittsburgh we thought we had a chance to "fix him". That said I'm glad we didn't get him. Yet we need someone to add to the mix that can compete with UPL or play at least 35 games as I can't see Anderson lasting long with his age and recent injury history.

    This has been spoken too multiple times by tons of posters. Bishop is on LTIR, he will never play again in the NHL. All we did was trade for a caphit on paper, Bishop was never going to set foot in Buffalo unless he had to to verify the LTIR part of it. It was and will always be a transaction on paper only in which we get to add 4.9 million to our cap. Now we never need to think about Bishop again, he's simply a piece of paper that says we have 4.9mil added to the cap.

    Same thing as we did when traded "for Johnny Boychuk" last year after we moved Eichel and had to get to the salary floor.
