Flashsabre Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Nothing wrong with letting Levi plays a couple games if he signs. It doesn’t mean he is gifted a spot next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said, it depends heavily on what KA wants for him as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, he's been immersed in his current (college) team. They're his friends, his hockey family. The Sabres are an abstraction to him. I saw someone ask him about how much he paid attention to the Sabres and he said essentially "very little." Having just come out of the tournament I think it's likely he needs some time to decompress and think about his future. At this point he might not even know whether he will return to college for another year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As it stands, the future starting goalie position is UPL’s to lose. He really doesn’t need to prove himself, just not downright suck. If Portillo signs, he’s the next man up. After being in professional ranks, it’s now Portillo’s position to lose. This is assuming we’re going to go with a goalie 1A and 1B. With a whole year of professional development, Levi would really have to outplay Portillo to leapfrog him. If they display similar skill at the professional level, which is entire possible, the nod will go to Portillo. A level playing field is what Levi is giving up if he doesn’t sign this year.

Levi is probably returning to Northeastern. Maybe they just didn’t like it at Northeastern. Their HC and also Goaltending coach were in their first year on the job. Maybe it’s not the staff who were in place when they committed to Northeastern and they aren’t fans. EDIT: I looked it up the current HC and goaltending coach are not the people who were in those positions when any of those players committed. Maybe the just don’t like the coaches or the coaches aren’t good. The team did not perform very well apart from Levi’s virtuoso performances.
