Wish I had even an ounce of faith that this org can evaluate goalies.
This is a gamble that Levi has hidden talent that hasn’t been able to show at all in the NHL yet, and it can happen here. He had success in his younger years but his NHL time has been a disaster so far. Last AHL season mediocre as well.

Yeah he's a plan C option.. I'd actually have more faith in Ingram.. Stauffer suggesting Levi might be spending some time in Bako.. but he has to clear waivers.. thats why Buffalo traded him they'd lose him on waivers.. Hellybuk rumoured to be possible Buffalo trade..

Yeah at this point I have no faith in Oiler pro-scouts.. goalie or otherwise.. I cringe everytime there is an Oiler "trade alert"

Get Kapanen done. They dodged a bullet with mikheyev going to Tampa bay. Saved them from themselves.
Now lock up the cheap fast skilled playoff performer that's sitting in your lap.

Might be too late.. Kapanen's eyes must be as big as saucers now after seeing the money getting thrown around.. unless he waits too long, the music stops and chairs are few..
