Value of: Garrett Sparks, Curtis McElhinney, Calvin Pickard

[Cor]

The Maple Leafs are likely to trade one of these goalies. What teams could be interested, and what type of return could the Leafs see? Pick(s)? Prospect(s)? Roster Player?

McElhinney; (NHL) 10-4-1, 0.935sv%, 2.09 GAA, 3SO [34 years old]
Sparks; (AHL) 25-8-1, 0.936sv%, 1.82 GAA, 5SO [24 years old]
Pickard; (AHL) 19-9-0, 0.924sv%, 2.12 GAA, 1SO (25 years old]

If I'm the Avs, I'd potentially be interested in one of Sparks/Pickard. Not interested enough to give up much for either of them, but interested enough to kick the tires and nod appreciatively while trying to figure out what the real asking price might be.

How about Rantanen for Sparks and a 4th?

We'd probably need to add Ottawa's 1st and Makar to make it even close to fair...

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Waivers.

All three.

 

[Vancouver Canucks]

Trade either Sparks/Pickard.

 

[Deebo]

Maybe a late round pick at most for any of them.

Death, Taxes, and horrible Leaf offers

Honestly I wouldn’t mind adding Leivo and Martin if they throw in Tyson Barrie aswell

Your sarcasm detector is on point.

Tried to make the trade from a Col perspective, did I not add enough, what would it take for the Leafs to accept? A 1st?

Throw MacKinnon in there.

 

[Drew311]

Solid thread.

Come on man, let’s keep things realistic here...

Sorry...was being sarcastic haha.

Pickard's contract is up at the end of the season and is wavier and arbitration eligible. Toronto probably just lets him walk.

Canucks should be able to take him.

 

[Jozay]

I dont think the Leafs need a 4th rounder that bad

Just keep the depth

I'd like to keep Sparks and promote him next season. He's earned the permanent promotion.

Pickard I think could be moved to Ottawa, Buffalo, Chicago or Minnesota.
I'd be fine with a mid-round pick or in the chance more could be had by adding a similarly modest asset, I'd look towards seeing if prospects like Snuggerud or Kaakonen could be had.

McElhinney to the Devils for Ken Appleby? Love what he's done for us, but the days of sentimentality have to be over. Sparks should be promoted and kept barring an offer we can't refuse.

Hopefully we're better at the draft table this year with respect to G prospects. Woll's all we've got. Kaskisuo looks like he could take over the Marlies, but I think Ian Scott might have been a poor choice.

My two cents.

Lol me too, just messing with ya

Sparks and Pickard have both been good and young enough to make McBackup expendable.

Even if one of the two falters the other could step up. Expect Mc to get traded in the offseason and I don't expect much in return - 3rd / 4th round pick...
