The legend continues.

 

[Slyfox]

Knew he would be gone. Sucks

 

[LastOne2100]

Expected but this had to happen. There was no way he should've been chose over both Pickard and Sparks.

 

[Nizdizzle]

Good luck to Mac. He did everything the Leafs needed from him. Hope he gets some success with the Canes.

 

[Jean Luc Discard]

Canes needed just that one extra backup goalie...

 

[Fire Benning]

Not surprising with Darling out.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

so just like that, TO doesn't have a Plan C for goaltending

 

[Brock Radunske]

I knew it.
Oh well, Carolina is a good team with horrible goaltending, so he's getting a good shot here.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Sparks getting 20 games this year.

 

[FalcorMulch]

I bet the reactions to this are calm and reasonable.

 

[Spirit of 67]

Good luck Mac.

You did great for us.

 

[smitty10]

I'm okay with Pickard and Sparks getting 10 games each.

Pickard gone to Philly lol.

 

[Mugzy97]

If he plays anything like he did last year in his backup role, you'll be extremely happy with this free pickup.

The Leafs had 3 goalies playing in the AHL last season.

Kasimir Kaskisuo was loaned to Chicago and had great numbers. I assume he'll be the Marlies starter. Justin Peters was in Marlies camp on a PTO. I assume he'll be signed as the Marlies backup unless something else comes up.

Regardless, not the end of the world.

 

[Pinto]

Good luck Mac, he did well for us.

 

[A1LeafNation]

Pickard gone to Philly lol.

Didn't see that. Looks like Sparks it is.

 

[Drytoast]

Me right now.

 

[Stopsight]

McElbackup rises from the ashes

 

[MMC]

He has a good chance at becoming McStarter in Carolina

 

[Leafs87]

He’ll probably be better than darling

 

[Deadly Dogma]

shit I was hoping 1 of McBackup or Pickard made it through. I guess its a testament to management that our depth is that strong.

 

[frankthetank91]

He was good for us but happy I don't have to hear shitty "McBackup and McStarter" etc. jokes anymore

 

[coupe93]

Best of luck Mac. You did us well in TO, most all of us will be rooting for you in Carolina. Class act, ultimate professional!

 

[Brock Radunske]

I wouldn't be shocked if the Leafs claim him back when Carolina waives him when Darling comes back. He's a reel gud pro.
