Levi to Rochester

25 comments
  1. Seemed to be an inevitability. His numbers haven’t been good enough to warrant playing a backup role. Not all of it was his fault it seemed like the team shit the bed in front of him a lot but he was also getting beaten clean a few too many times. He’ll be back.

  2. Right move. He needs to play consistently for his growth and gain his confidence back after his shaky start this season

  3. Took a year and a quarter…. hope he catches up on his development and doesn’t need to be called up again this year. I think Sabres already hurt his potential.

  4. Fine by me. Give him 1-3 **full** seasons as an Amerk.

    Ryan Miller was a full time Amerk until he was 25, FYI. His first full season in Buffalo was 05-06, after 3 full seasons in Rochester.

    Goalies have long careers. Many reach their prime well into their 30’s. Give the dude time.

  5. Seems like he was at his best when he was playing a bunch of games in college, then came right to the team. He needs consistent starts to get into a groove and improve. This will be a good thing

  6. Don’t like the circumstances around it. Still the right decision. Get some regular game time, get adjusted to regular hockey at a good level and come back stronger.

    Fingers crossed. Like the kid and there’s definitely something there.

  7. Needed to happen. At this point in his development he needs to play regularly have no problems with it. I think Reimer is a short term upgrade and someone we’re ok with playing sparingly. Levi will get his games and he’s the 1st goalie up from Rochester if UPL goes down

  8. Good, not sure why we got away from Developing goalies in the A for 3-5 years. That position takes time.

  9. Probably for the best. I see potential in the guy, He’s made some clutch saves, but I saw a goalie chart earlier and he’s bottom 5 in the league. Just needs some more ice time.

  10. he should have spent all of last year and this year in Rochester. hopefully his development path hasn’t been screwed up too badly

  11. He’s been getting beat clean on shots an NHL goalie should stop. Going to be a big part of the future for us but his time isn’t now.
