Can't even take a survey without being a subscriber? :-/

As a subscriber, I have to say I have mixed feelings about non-subscribers voting. I definitely don't want to get the bunch who post negative replies to everything on Sabres Facebook or Instagram to get a voice if they aren't invested enough to subscribe to the Athletic.

Yeah, I kinda get it with the Facebook comment, but it's still disappointing and doesn't give a particularly accurate set of statistics if the sample size is limited out of the gate, as you're already saying your participants have to have enough disposal income to subscribe to an online magazine. So yeah, you're weeding out some chaff, but you're also missing the opinions of knowledgeable fans who have different financial priorities.

Going off the comments on The Athletic articles, I am not sure there is a huge difference.

I take it you aren't a fan of the 14th amendment either huh Andrew Johnson?

The Athletic isn’t that expensive. I’m kicking myself for missing their Boxing Day sale a couple years ago where a subscription was 50 cents a month tho.

So for those who did the google doc survey...who's your goalie of the future?
I voted Levi. I think skill wise they all have good fundamentals. I think the thing Levi has is his drive and desire to improve. I'm not saying that UPL and Portillo don't have that same desire, but Levi seems different somehow. How many young goalies want NHL players to shoot on them when they are 14 years old?
