Sabres Reportedly Frontrunners to Land Cup Champion Goalie
The Buffalo Sabres are probably closer to making the playoffs than they've been in the last ten years.
In the competitive Atlantic Division, nothing is certain. The Sabres will have to beat a few top contender teams like the Lightning, the Bruins, the Maple Leafs, and the Panthers. There's also the underestimated Ottawa Senators, who have playoff aspirations. One thing is certain: it won't be easy staying at the top of the rankings in that division.
A solution has emerged recently to help the Sabres achieve their goals.
Sabres to Land Top Goalie?
The Sabres have an intriguing prospect coming up between the pipes: Devon Levi.
The 21-year-old played the first seven NHL games of his career last season, and he showed that he's ready to compete at that level.
He had a 5-2 record, as well as a 2.94 GAA and a .905 SV%.
However, even if he does great things for the Sabres, next year will be his first complete season in the NHL, and he could use some help.
A link has been made between Logan Thompson and Buffalo.
Thompson, 26, took part in 57 NHL games for the Golden Knights. Last season, he had a 21-13-3 record, a 2.65 GAA, and a .915 SV% in 37 games.
Levi and Thompson could very well cause a surprise and lead the Sabres to the playoffs for the first time since 2011.
