Claimed off Waivers: Canes claim Curtis McElhinney

[Vitto79]

Ruh? Unless Andersen or Sparks gets hurt, or Sparks is really disappointing, wouldn't that put them in the same position as when they waived McElhinny and Pickard the first time? Needing to either expose Sparks to waivers or carry 3 goalies?

Pretty sure you can claim your old player and send to the minor w no waivers

Only if nobody else submits a claim.

That's not happening most likely.

McBackup looked great.

I hope the Leafs backup is half as good as he is!

No doubt! We’ll see how Sparks handles his home town team tonight. Gotta say...I’m nervous! Not gonna keep crying over Mac but if Sparks looks like hot garbage in his first couple of starts we’ll be looking for another McBackup by November

 

[BKIslandersFan]

He's STILL in the league?

 

[TAYGB52]

He's STILL in the league?

How dare you! Good day, sir.

Bet the Leafs are regretting this after tonight.

Don't worry they just need to score 7 goals a night to win.

 

[Albz]

Plz give him us back lmao sparks sucks

curtis is a short term solution the thought process behind the mgmt was that sparks would be better long term.
I disagree and theres a divide among leafs fan. i rather curtis, good backups arent always easy to get.

 

[Unsustainable]

If I were the Canes, Darling is the one who would go after last year. Mrazek is a scrambler but he’s a far better option to keep around with McBackup.

Darling lost 30lbs. I think he will rebound

McElhinney is the solution until he shows he can’t be.

Sparks final product is MAYBE a backup goalie. We got rid of a high quality backup for a guy who might be an average backup.

 

[gamer1035]

When do we get him back?

I know the hurricanes are gonna put him back on waivers when their guys get healthy

Hopefully, he seems like a good guy. Last year was really bad though, hope he can bounce back.

im not disagreeing with you, McElhinney has in two years given us a .924% save percentage over two years, that is pretty damn elite.

 

[Canes]

There's a chance we carry 3 goalies when Darling gets back, especially with the uncertainty at starter.

If Mrazek keeps playing this mediocre and McBackup keeps playing well, it'll be Mrazek who's being waived.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

I wouldn’t be so sure. We don’t have a definite answer in net. There’s a permanent role with Carolina for him if he can continue to play like he did in his debut.

pretty sure they will waive darling or mrazek over McStarter

Yep. Canes are carrying 22 with Rask being on the LTIR like he is. I wouldn't be shocked if we carry 3 goalies for a bit until we see how things shake out.

Darling lost 30lbs.

On the Canes website Darling is listed with 232 lb.
Must be a lazy management to give people false infos.

Also interesting is McElhinney.
With the Leafs he was 6'3, with Canes now 6'2.

Too many liar in this world.

He lost 30lbs over the summer, in a well documented work out program the team put him on.

Canes are all lazy liars. Move them to Quebec E4.

Heavy work out? I wonder about what he did.
What did he lose, fat or muscles?
Did he change his eating habits?

Good the Canes took care of him in the offseason, that's how it should be.

What kind of injury does he have now?

 

[airbus220]

Canes are all lazy liars.

Other teams too, i.e. old Greiss got taller ...
