Insulate him by plating 2 rookies on the 3rd pair?

Stillman and Lyubushkin is a great 3rd pair

I think you have a good one there in Levi. 👍

I'll agree that Sabres need a good veteran NHL goalie, and they will get one this summer. Wish Levi the best of success, but one reason he was drafted in the seventh round was because he is short by modern NHL standards. We'll see how he performs at the AHL or NHL level next season.

Raanta Is injury prone and getting older. I'd rather see someone like Riemer or Adin Hill in Buffalo. They should also try and sign a solid number three in case Levi needs some rest or an injury happens

It's wishful thinking. Having Lyubushkin and Stillman on the roster is insulation there.

That's fair. I think UPL is a fine #3 since he's still Waivers exempt next season.

I get wanting a vet 3C, but to put Compher at 3 RW makes no sense unless ur trading Savoie, Mitts or Krebs. There’s just no scoring on that 3rd Line.
