Sounds like McTavish is legit available. Buffalo should certainly inquire. 

What is the source?

That was arguably the only good goalie on the market available for trade; that being said trading for him would of made Levi next to impossible to re-sign and Adams doesn’t exactly look at a 3D, much less a 4D, map.

Levi has ZERO leverage.  How was he going to keep from re-signing?  Is he going to get a career in whatever his major was his 2 years at Northeastern?

Seems like an appropriate return for a Top 3 defenseman. I mean, we sent a first line winger for someone not as flashy has Byram. This guys scores goals, but does he play defense? Or is he in the mold of a JJP?

Yeah but Levi has value still in any trade, and lets say Levi comes and is better than him, you can still get same value back for Svilos.

Im sure we thinking the same, but im drunk and well ***** you kevyn.

He always has leverage here; love the kid but to get him to sign originally allegedly required promised time in the NHL during his "1st year" Now while he's certainly embraced his time in Rochester now; bringing in Silovs would of just pissed him and/or his agent off. Complain enough and Adams would trade him, but he can't since he hinged much of his past 5 years on developing Levi to be our 1G and he isn't one to deviate

Pretty sure you're giving Adams "we only want guys that want to be here" a bit too much to heart.

It's obviously more nuanced but how many players has Adams kept hold of that have more or less asked to leave?
