Incorrect, NcElhinney has a contract for 2019/19
I know, I realized my mistake a few posts after. Sorry.

The Marlies want to win a calder cup and have a good chance with two really good goalies. In years past when Sparks went down with an injury Bibeau couldn't cut it, they don't have that problem so much now. We might see one of Sparks or Picard next year but I think they both stay in the A.
Sparks is a decent AHL goalie like Bibeau, I would prefer signing a high end backup like a Condon.
Incorrect it's McElhinney not NcElhinneyIncorrect, NcElhinney has a contract for 2019/19
And haven't we seen that having at least three NHL goalies is necessary if one get hurts.
If Andersen gets injured I would hate to McIhinney traded for a useless 4th rounder and have the NHL questionable Sparks and Pickard in carrying the load

This is laughably so wrong. How can you say this with a straight face?
what is wrong about it? the Leafs wanted to go for Condon but Ottawa offered the third year.
I think he means the Sparks/Bibeau part

That'd be the Sharks, and I didn't know that, good for him! A quick look at his numbers and he's 7-5 in the AHL this year, not too shabby.You mentioned Bibeau. I thought he real NHL potential and then he slipped last year and was surpassed by Sparks and Kasper.
He seemed might be back on form as he was recalled to his parent NHL team (the Ducks?) this year.
Very much so. Sparks has been one of the best AHL goaltenders for a few years. Injuries are the only thing that's been bad about him.
Theyea, and yet he past through waivers and the Leafs signed mcBackup and draft goalies.
Sparks is an AHL goalie. When he played games for us he was horrible and it helped us tank.
He may have improved skill wise but between the ears is still very questionable.
He may get picked up by another team come next season and I would not lose any sleep over it. Pickard and him will battle come training camp for a NHL position and the loser will go on Vaivers . My bet is Pickard wins.
The
Leafs wanting to go with a vet over untested rookie in a year the team is trying to be competitive I shouldn’t necessarily be viewed as a slight against Sparks. I mean at the same time they also didn’t waste time getting him a new contact.
He’s played better at the AHL level than McBackup ever has.
