Value of: Brian Eliott or Michael Nirvirth to the Leafs

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

I think you're making too much of this, can you think of a Goalie that had their career ended by concussions?

If I'm not mistaken Rick Dipetro's career was eventually ended by a concussion

Mike Richter's career was ended by a skull fracture and concussion

 

[HoweHullOrr]

Yeah, it's very unlikely since Andersen is skating already and seems to be healthy enough.

Won't he be back fairly soon? That's the impression I got based on reading news ......

DiPietro was back/knee/hip/abdominal injuries, he did have a concussion early on but that wasn't what ended his career

Richter's was a massive impact event, not a small concussion that no one knew happened until after the fact

 

[TheDoldrums]

leafs goalies are the new spinal tap drummers

 

[qqaz]

I’d think they could easily be bad for a conditional 3rd/4th round pick.

Please tell me this was intentional. lol!

Also, Toronto doesn't need another goalie, just yet. Even if Andersen wasn't close to returning (and it looks like he is), and Sparks actually has a severe concussion (we don't even know if he has one at all yet) then they can still ride Hutch for a week or two. It wouldn't be the first time a team has to feed starts to the 3rd stringer for a while.

It is only an issue if they hadn't traded for Hutch, or if he is also hurt. But why not worry about that IF it happens?

We have a goalie problem and we turn to Philly?

Of all the teams...

Worked out pretty well for the Blue Jackets a few years ago.

 

[Fogelhund]

If we are that concerned, grab McKenna... he's free, and would help our Marlies when we have to waive him, if he clears.

The Vancouver Canucks placed goaltender Mike McKenna on waivers

Omg, this is TOO funny. This was my initial reaction too. But hey, if you want one go ahead, give us a bag of pucks and maybe lunch too (though that may be pushing it a bit) and you can have your pick of the two

 

[SpeakingOfTheDevils]

If the injury problems persist, I'd be curious what Leafs fans would give up for Kinkaid.

I'm not sold on even trading him.. at all.. but for discussion's sake...

 

[BillDineen]

If you want another goalie on IR, trade for one of our fragile goalers!

I’d trade Neuvirth for a franchise of Tim Hortons being paid by the Maple Leafs in Wells Fargo

Let Gritty go wild

Well I mean the Devils are sellers and Kinkaid is a UFA so he's probably gone.

Schneider's on IR and hasn't won a regular season game since December 2017.

Trading Kinkaid leaves us with Blackwood and... ?? Lack's done for the year, and we have no timetable for Cory.

But, please, continue to lecture me about my team.

Sellers don't generally keeps UFA's

You didn't read a word of my post, did you?

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

DiPietro was back/knee/hip/abdominal injuries, he did have a concussion early on but that wasn't what ended his career

Richter's was a massive impact event, not a small concussion that no one knew happened until after the fact

Also I forgot to mention Cory Crawford's career looks like it's headed to it's end thanks to concussions

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

You didn't read a word of my post, did you?

I did, it just doesn't matter, you are sellers the only way sellers keep their UFAS is if they are injured and untradeable or have a NTC and won't waive

the idea is to get a REAL backup because AHL level goaltending doesn't work

 

[PALE PWNR]

Calvin Pickard is available

lol...you want a team to trade away one of their top two goalies and go with a 3rd/4th string goalie just so the Leafs don't have to? We're not getting Kinkaid. At best wed get another warm body somewhere between Sparks/Hutchison and Kaskisuo.

 

[ffh]

Doesn't Mason live in Toronto. Get him. Outside of the 1st 2 games last year which was more the tesm then him he played good when healthy. Better then hutch or sparks

I just expect them to trade Kinkaid because they are sellers

Kinkaid is not someone you sell, he's someone you re-sign.

 

[Tripod]

I just expect them to trade Kinkaid because they are sellers

But as you have been told, they gave no one else who can step in and play. You want to ignore their own injuries to 2 goalies.

It's not like an injury to a forwRd where there are lots to plug in. Hell, you should know this...just look at your own team.

 

[Finnish your Czech]

Just wait it out. This only makes sense if both Sparks and Andersen are out long term.

The chances of Hutchinson getting injured before Sparks or Andersen come back are so low.
