Prospect Info: Devon Levi, G (Obtained in Reinhart trade) Northeastern University (NCAA)

[Rowley Birkin]

Can anyone share some information on him ?

I'm not hoping for much - i just hope he doesn't become TT 2.0 simply because of who he was traded for...

Read these 2020 draft day takes before making the lazy "one good tournament" post:

So this guy is a monster of a goalie. He is small, but pound for pound best goalie in the draft. I coached against him watched him for 3 years and lord if he was bigger.

he’s calm, he’s got a lot of poise in the nets. He’s an absolute workHorse and a competitor, He’s literally comfortable stealing games and gets better the more he sees the puck. Technically sound, great reflexes and his positioning is also great his flaw is his size.

last year this kid took down the best team my midget league had ever seen, 7 game series, 50 shots against average, they couldn’t beat him. He wins where he goes.

he was drafted and chased after for 3 years by Blainville in the Q but is taking the slow road.


His numbers in the CCHL are absurd, he is that team. He stole the show at the WRJA challenge and will start at northeastern.

he wasn’t invited to the camp, but some believe he will be Canada’s goalie at the WJC.

a year from now I truly believe we could be talking about him as one of the better goalie prospects. He’s played at lower levels by choice, and dominated.

if he gets 1-2 inches, watch out. I do believe he will be an nhl goalie and could be more.

I'll echo these sentiments. I think Levi has the potential to be one of the best goaltenders from this draft class. Size is so overrated in the position these days. Levi has everything you want in an NHL netminder. If you can find some footage (I believe on youtube or Hockey Canada's website) of the World Junior A Challenge, do it. He was the MVP of the event, an event where many top prospects for this draft participated.

Won’t matter for this kid, he was traded for a top 10 player in the league.

 

[Zman5778]

There's some intriguing upside here, no doubt. Looked stellar in the WJCs.

Let's see how he progresses at Northeastern.

 

[allsilverdreams]

Not the kids fault he was traded for a popular player .and a good one as well.
We might see him in 3-5 years. Hope he can grow in many areas.

Reinhart is not a top 10 player in the league….

He is being sarcastic

 

[Fjordy]

Well, at least we seem to have a good pipeline of young goalies.

[BuiltTagonTough]

Between him, UPL, and Portillo one of them has to pan out right? Seems like we’ve got a lot of potential high upside prospects in the pipelin

 

[Asymmetric Solution]

The only silver lining I’m getting here is we do not have to draft a G and can swing for the fences on BPA in the draft.

 

[Push Dr Tracksuit]

weird ass emotions stirring around, good place for a rebuild but feel like we are going to be at our pre-Reinhart point but having used better assets to get (back) there, hoping that this guys career can stay seperate from the disappointment that brought him

 

[IHaveNoCreativity]

I stand by what I said last year, his rebound control has significantly improved however I have to add that in. This is a throw in that Florida will regret.

With Knight in the fold, Florida won’t regret giving him up.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

When we take a 7th round goalie as our big prospect piece aside from a 1st which is protected, I would have wanted a higher floor to start with. No offense to Levi, who looked stellar at the 2021 WJR. But, meh. This is as much of a fumble of a trade as Ryan O'Reilly. I get that an unsigned RFA, most likely hindered the ask, but I would have pulled out of this deal, and reassessed and made other calls. You should have been able to come back to this "dog shit return".

Knight may be there now, doesn’t mean he’ll always be better. Time will be the decider however.

 

[old kummelweck]

I'm definitely going to some Huskie games this fall.

Knight is on a completely other level.

Ryan Miller was drafted in the 5th round. I don't think we should be upset with the prospect just because of the round he was picked in.
Apparently Luongo was the one behind this pick for Florida. He was bugging them to take him because he felt so strongly. I'm willing to see how he pans out. Nice having maybe 3 up and coming goalies with some potential.

Reason dictates at least one will pan out.
But this is Buffalo so they probably will all be busts/underwhelming

I think ullmark was a 6th rounder if I recall correctly as well…

Knight is on a completely other level.

I think the height difference is the main reason for that.

As a member of the short goalie union, I can admit that is part of it. But, Knight has proven way more and is a better prospect at this point.

I think it’s fair, given that Knight is in the pro’s, has a larger body of work at a higher level. The early results on Levi look promising.

I’d have to the Buffalo asked for Levi’s inclusion; and that Florida didn’t offer. Either way it’s a solid for him as he was stuck, UPL looks to be very good, but I still think it’s a clearer path for Devon.

 

[The Blunder Years]

It's amazing that the goalie picked 13th overall in 2019 and the goalie picked 212th overall in 2020 are being closely debated lol. I'll admit I've only seen Knight play in that one playoff game he started and I was impressed. Never seen Levi though. Hopefully he's in Rochester soon to be viewed.
