There is no way McBackup isn't traded and Sparks isn't given the inside track over Pickard for the backup spot.
Sparks will not just be handed an NHL gig. He has to earn it at the NHL level. Just saying.
You most definitely don't keep McBackup, you sell high on him now at the draft/offseason so you aren't left having 4 goaltenders in the NHL getting less value from trading them as teams know you can't keep them all. At least with only Sparks & Pickard here, it's manageable to keep 3 goalies on an NHL roster so that you're not too forced into trading the loser of the backup spot race for 0 valuePut the three of them in camp and let the best goalie win.
Did I say hand it to him? No, said inside track, which you do for all prospects you want playing in NHL that season so that even if another player plays at not a better level but equal level, the favoured prospect is given the NHL spot considering his pedigreeSparks will not just be handed an NHL gig. He has to earn it at the NHL level. Just saying.

"He has to earn it at the NHL level".He just earned his NHL shot.
As long as Babcock is coaching nothing will be given to Sparks based on tonight."He has to earn it at the NHL level".

That's all very good for Sparks and I hope it translate to him being in the NHL full time. However it's still a different game at the NHL level compared to the AHL.He just won the Calder Cup for the organization FFS and posted a .936 in the regular season. Oh and by the way he was Dubas' goalie. Are you mad?
Wonder if Sparks may end up being trade bait tbh
I'd easily trade him for a second /third rounder if the opportunity presented itself.
If it was that easy wouldn't Gauthier be up full time and not with the Marlies?
Sparks will have to pass waivers next season.
