With the news of Sabres goalie prospect Devon Levi returning to Northeastern in 2022-23 for his sophomore season, Sneaky Joe makes the case for the Sabres signing Michigan goaltender, and their 3rd round pick from 2019, Erik Portillo to an entry level contract, to begin playing in Rochester. This would give Portillo an opportunity to develop close to the Sabres and speed up the timeline of finding out what he is as a player, alongside Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen, before Devon Levi shows up.
Plus, Joe makes the case for trading Minnesota left shot defenseman Ryan Johnson if he doesn't sign with the Sabres this spring, as he ranks behind Rasmus Dahlin, Owen Power, and Mattias Samuelsson on the organizational depth chart.
Finally, Joe previews the Sabres Tuesday night matchup with the Carolina Hurricanes.
