I dont see Toronto claiming him. It would be the same logjam we had when we waived him. They arent going to waive Sparks at this point
Reclaim him, to send him to the Marlies?
He would be the back up there too.Having a 35-year old goaltender on your AHL team isn't a great plan. They would be much better off using the AHL to develop younger talent.

doesn't work that way.
If Carolina was to waive him....
Im not sure on sequence of this,,,I think
1, First goes to teams other than Carolina who put claims on him when Caroline did
2. Then Toronto can reclaim him
3. Then other teams who didn't claim him the first time then can claim him.
If Toronto claims him then tries to send him to the AHL he still has to go through waivers again.
teams can easily get by with 13-7-3 roster.
With Mrazek also a UFa after the season they could trade him for a pick then have 2 goalies.
they cant trade McElhinney

Pointless to have goalie depth and a mentor for guys being groomed with the Marlies?Seems pointless.
And?We'd have to waive him to assign him to the Marlies.
Seems pointless.
We had to dress an ECHL goalie last time Freddie was unavailable. The Marlies starter right now is a journeyman on an AHL-only deal. Acquiring a depth option is closer to a necessity than pointless.
If the Leafs do reclaim him after Carolina puts him on waivers, then as the team that originally waived him, they are allowed to send him straight to the minors without putting him on waivers again. I can’t imagine they wouldn’t do this just for the extra depth.I'm not certain Toronto would re-claim him.

Kasimir Kaskisuo is out, potentially until the new year. Our third string goalie is current Eamon McAdam, a guy who was only supposed to be in the ECHL.
We’d claim him, without a doubt.

As already mentioned, not if they are the only team putting in a claim, as they are the team that originally put him on waivers this year.We'd have to waive him to assign him to the Marlies.
