    >24th: Buffalo Sabres
    Devon Levi, Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, Eric Comrie
    This ranking for the Sabres is entirely contingent on Levi being who many believe he will be this season. The 21-year-old had a stirring seven-game tease in 2022-23 (5-2-0, .905 save percentage) and is expected to be among the best rookies in the NHL this season.

    >Luukkonen, 24, saw his first full seasons in 2022-23 and posted a minus-5 goals saved above expected. The veteran Comrie was considered a free-agent bust last season in 19 games, but could factor in the mix this season.

    >One goalie expert we spoke with believed that Comrie was the better goaltender than Luukkonen last season, but had the misfortune of playing a lot when the Sabres’ defense was most banged up. “They turned down decent trade offers for UPL. I could see him gone, but head coach Don Granato likes him, so he may keep trying to make it happen with UPL,” they said. “Levi is the real deal, but plays with an aggression that may get targeted after teams see him once.”

  2. Who cares when the rest of their team dropped off a cliff lol
