Levi has played worse every year he has been in the NHL. So bad they can't even give him time to try and get adjusted the last 2 years. Until that changes he can't be here.

Sure, but how is that going to change if he doesn’t play here?

The biggest difference between then and now is the pro season he had last year in Rochester (2.20, .917, and seven shutouts in just 42 regular season games).

He posted better stats the prior year in Rochester in both the regular season and playoffs. Then stunk in the NHL last year when he got an opportunity.

I hope Lyon wins the job because I already know the other crap options far too well. I can't believe it was over 3 years ago when many thought Levi was the 2nd coming....yikes. I have given up on pretending Levi is anything other than a backup.

Devon Levi is clearly not a prodigy, but in terms of typical goalie development he remains well ahead of many current NHL #1s and any Sabres goalie prospect since and including Ryan Miller.

Ullmark's age 22 season would like a word.

His 23 and 24 seasons as well, though he didn't get much of a chance to play in either of those.

What's Dustin Wolf up to? Asking for no reason, what so ever to do with this conversation.

Wolf couldn't even make it into either of Calgary's two split squad games yesterday. Lazy bum clearly was a one-season wonder.
