"This player to me sums of the type of people we want on the Buffalo Sabres and in our locker room, people that get up every day and want to be better."And Power could be in the Sabres locker room in April."I don't want to get ahead of it because I think it's important for him to stay present and stay in the moment of what he's doing and what he's focused on," Adams said. The 20-year-old goalie, who helped Canada finish second at the 2021 IIHF World Junior Championship, was traded to Buffalo by the Florida Panthers on July 24 for forward Sam Reinhart and a first-round pick in the 2022 NHL Draft.Levi is 16-7-1 with a 1.55 goals-against average, .948 save percentage and nine shutouts in 24 games at Northeastern University this season."It's very exciting to have two prospects heading to the Olympics, especially for a country like Canada that is so, so deep with talent," Granato said.
