Devon Levi traded to Oilers, faces pivotal future in goaltending

Devon Levi was traded from the Sabres to the Oilers on July 1, 2026, along with a 2028 7th-round pick in exchange for a 3rd-round pick. After a season spent in the AHL with no clear path back to the NHL, he joins a goaltending situation in Edmonton marked by uncertainty. Frederik Andersen's recent acquisition as a stopgap and Tristan Jarry's struggles further complicate the crease for the Oilers. Levi's upcoming restricted free agency in summer 2027 coincides with significant cap space opening for the team, presenting both an opportunity and a challenge as they aim to reshape their roster and goaltending strategy going forward.
