The Buffalo Sabres are reportedly considering moving on from goaltender Devon Levi, with the Ottawa Senators emerging as potential suitors. According to Kevin Weekes, multiple teams, including Ottawa, are showing interest in Levi, who has struggled to secure a consistent role in the NHL.
Levi, 23, has appeared in 39 games at the NHL level, posting a .899 save percentage and a 2.51 goals-against average. His performance has not been enough to convince the Sabres to commit to him long-term, especially with a deep goaltending pipeline in their system. Buffalo's top prospects include Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Cayden Primeau, both of whom have impressed in the minors.
The Sabres have also been impressed with Linus Ullmark, who has been their starter for the past two seasons. Ullmark carries a .914 save percentage and has shown consistency in the crease, giving the team a reliable option going forward.
Jeff Marek recently stated on his podcast, “It’s over, it’s over with Devon Levi and the Buffalo Sabres,” and Elliotte Friedman has echoed similar sentiments. The general consensus among insiders is that the Sabres will explore trade options for Levi.
Ottawa, on the other hand, has been exploring goaltending options to address its depth issues. The Senators currently rely heavily on Filip Gustavsson, who has a .911 save percentage this season. Adding a young goaltender like Levi could give Ottawa insurance and future flexibility.
Devon Levi is under contract through the 2027-28 season with a two-way deal worth $775,000 at the NHL level. A trade would not only provide salary relief for the Sabres but also allow Ottawa to add a potential project without a significant cap hit.
The move could happen before the NHL’s trade deadline, which is set for March 12. Both teams are expected to monitor the situation closely, with the potential of a deal shaping up in the coming weeks.
For now, the Sabres appear ready to move on and continue building around their core, while Ottawa looks to strengthen its depth in net ahead of the stretch run.
