He did record a .929 save% in 19 games infront of a horrible team in Montreal last season.

Weber's injured for a while and we'll likely have a young defense assuming Mete and Juulsen are in the NHL full-time. I like Niemi but he won't be as good as last season.
I am going to say Sparks even though he isn't an official backup yet.
He put up decent numbers a few years ago in spot starts when the Leafs were in a total throw away season and has only increased his performances since then. Best goalie in the AHL last year and has had a good camp so far for the Leafs.

No, I meant he'd be the guy they'd trade after the season is over. He'd be a 1B. Hellebuyck has that job on lock for a while.

Drury and Laviolette Must Go
Carter Hart might become the Flyers' starter and #1 goalie this year. He looks pretty good so far.

Koskinen isn't that good. I watched him play a number of times with SKA. No mobility and gives up a lot of soft goals.
He was the second best goalie on his KHL team for two years.

He had an OKAY game last night but he had an AHL team in front of him and Winnipeg had 3/4 of their regular lineup in. To be honest, he looks like Gustavsson did when he came here. Hopefully it's just speed and size adjustment that he can work out before the end of camp because otherwise the Oil are doomed if Talbot poops the bed again.
I'll defend Ramo and Ortio here. They played on a terrible team with a terrible D. Everyone raves about how great those years of Calgary D were but statistically they really sucked and it showed in how they kept killing every goalie that came in. Smith has been the only exception and Johnson for a short while. Their D is much better this year but the other guys are not getting any better, they are getting older. I say SLIGHT improvement for Calgary D by the numbers. I know you'll all think I'm an idiot but I don't really care. It's easily the most over-rated D in the league and I like the additions but the other guys are that were becoming suspect like Giordano are still there. Yes Giordano. Watch him for 20 games. He's starting to show his age big time.
That's exactly how he's looked so far in camp. I hated this signing by Chia. Go get a real guy like Khudobin. It's not like it costs a lot to get them.
I don’t think Sparks has looked very good this preseason for Toronto. Potentially he’s a slow starter but that doesn’t bode well for you when you need to battle for a spot on the team.
Pickard has looked better than Sparks, but McHilhenney has been better than both. I hope they don’t keep him over both Pickard and Sparks...

Who wants to walk with Elias?
They should claim whichever goalie Toronto decides to waive and put both their guys in the A.
