Is Sparks the future goaltender of the Maple Leafs? Or just a backup to Andersen for now?
I get that his style isn't beautiful and relaxed like freddy, but he keeps making saves so he must be doing something right. His athleticism and reflexes have made him the best goalie in the ahl, and that does bode well going forward imoSparks made some improvements this year but I'm still seeing a drew macintyre goalie and not an NHL goalie
Yes but I see that as the issue with him. In the NHL he wasn't quick enough getting into postition to make the stop and at the NHL level that made him porous.I get that his style isn't beautiful and relaxed like freddy, but he keeps making saves so he must be doing something right.

I'm fine with this. There's no reason to write him off or anything, but he still has a bit to prove before we consider him an NHL goalieYes but I see that as the issue with him. In the NHL he wasn't quick enough getting into postition to make the stop and at the NHL level that made him porous.
In the ahl he's lights out amazing and I do hope he can make the jump but I would have to get a look at him in a few games in a real NHL game before I change my mind.

I don't think he is composed enough to be a successful NHL goalie. I hope we sell high. Pickard on the other hand has played 2 NHL seasons as a backup and 1 as a low-end starter on the worst team.
Simple. I could see him returning a 3rd right now, which is more than he likely will return at any other point in his career.??
How do you sell high on an AHL goaltender?

He’s no more than a career backup IMO
