The Buffalo Sabres signed goaltending prospect Devon Levi a two-year deal earlier this week. News of the signing has been met with mixed reactions as questions still linger regarding Levi’s ceiling in the NHL.
Aside from skepticism surrounding Levi, there’s another potentially complex situation brewing. The Sabres now have three goalies in the mix. So, something’s got to give as it’s unlikely the Sabres carry all three for the entire season.
First, there’s no doubt that Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen will be the starter. The only question surrounding Luukkonen is how many games he could play this upcoming season.
