Buffalo Trades Devon Levi in Goaltending Shake-up
1 Jul
Summary
- Sabres traded goalie Devon Levi and a 2028 seventh-round pick to Oilers.
- Oilers sent a 2028 third-round pick to Buffalo for Levi.
- Levi previously showed promise but struggled in recent NHL seasons.
The Buffalo Sabres have completed a trade, sending goalie Devon Levi and a 2028 seventh-round selection to the Edmonton Oilers. In return, the Sabres received a 2028 third-round pick. Levi, who is now 24 years old, spent the entirety of the past season playing in the American Hockey League (AHL).
Levi's tenure with the Sabres saw ups and downs. After a standout college career, he showed flashes of NHL readiness, but inconsistencies led to him being sent down to the AHL. The team's goaltending acquisitions and Levi's waiver eligibility this season prompted the move. He now joins the Oilers, who have been searching for stability in net, with Tristan Jarry and Levi being their only contracted goalies for the upcoming season.
