This reads less about Levi and more about UPL to me. If you are giving a guy 3+ years, you assume he’s your starter. Time to poop or get off the pot season for UPL, and I just took my morning deuce. IMO of course

Then Adams shouldn't have signed 42 year old Craig Anderson! Both him and UPL are back ups at best this year. Why sign a back up level player and then worry about another back up level player? So (frank)ing annoying

He is not wrong.
Could sign a guy to 5 years and assume that in year 4 the number of games played had better be turning in favor of the new guy. 2 year transition period between the two seems reasonable.

That's ridiculous... People are traded yearly.. Sign a guy to 3 years and if Levi is the next Hasek in 2 years you can do whatever the hell you want with the other guy

So the talk of Debrincat being the Blackhawks best player last year, is all because of Patrick Kane?

Why isn't Dylan Strome talked in the same breath?

I'll take Pat Kane for $1000

UPL put up starter numbers when he played. Staying healthy is the only thing holding him back. And yeah I think they may have thought something along the lines of 45 UPL 25 Murray Anderson the rest. It's not all black and white. Guys bust out at different times, and if UPL can stay healthy (big if, I understand this) I don't see why he can't become a starter this year for the majority of games

They’re standing pat this year… belief is that Levi will have a great opportunity next year.


Dont like that if true.

I do yes, Sabres dont, because they want a guy for 2 years only.

According to Harrington Adams wants a goalie on a 1-2 year deal Kemper isn't doing that. He's going to a quality franchise like Edmonton or Washington on a multi year deal

what they should be doing is signing him and trading him when the other guy is better.

I like Anderson and I think bringing him back was a good move. I don't think they're trying to win now

Ottawa has a good top 6 we'll see how he does.

Kane has had 66 apples both of Cats 40g seasons.

Brandon Hagel produced way more with Kane. Strome actually produces when playing with Kane.

Debrincat is a good if not great player in his own right but Kane does inflate his number a bit IMO
