The Edmonton Oilers have traded for goalie Devon Levi from the Buffalo Sabres, receiving him in exchange for a third-round draft pick. Levi, who spent the previous season in the AHL, is viewed as a potential solution to Edmonton's ongoing goalie issues. In the 2025-26 AHL season, he recorded a 2.83 goals against average and a 90.4 save percentage. The Sabres opted to move Levi after he did not factor into their NHL plans, with a trio of other goalies playing ahead of him. This acquisition marks a significant step for the Oilers as they look to bolster their netminding situation.
