Devon Levi News: Traded for draft pick

Levi was acquired along with a 2028 seventh-round pick by Edmonton from Buffalo on Wednesday in exchange for a 2028 third-round selection.

At one point, Levi was considered Buffalo's future starting goaltender. However, he struggled to make an impact in the NHL, posting a 3.29 GAA and an .894 save percentage across 39 career regular-season outings with the Sabres. It got to the point where he no longer fit into Buffalo's plans, motivating the move to Edmonton. The Oilers need goaltending, so this is a golden opportunity for Levi to show that those former expectations weren't misplaced. However, the team has a crowded crease entering training camp with Levi, Tristan Jarry and Frederik Andersen competing for spots.
