McIllhenney is gone no doubt. Sparks will be the back up
We'll see.Not so sure about that. McBackup is signed for another year and performed very well last year
So now the question is, what to do with Pickard. McIllhenney is gone no doubt. Sparks will be the back up
no doubt? it is just as likely sparks is gone than Mcillhenney. He has experience and played really well last year. I mean its possible but in no way is it "no doubt" its 50/50 who goes really maybe even pickard goes
No, you're thinking about Mark Owuya, I think. Swedish goalie/rapper.Is this the Finnish goalie that is also a Rapper?
No doubt because last year's save % was an anomaly and it is clear that Andersen needs a back up capable of playing ~25 games. Babcock does not have that confidence in Mcillhenney.no doubt? it is just as likely sparks is gone than Mcillhenney. He has experience and played really well last year. I mean its possible but in no way is it "no doubt" its 50/50 who goes really maybe even pickard goes
The stats say he was top 10 actually, so that confirms your point. I think Kaskisou needs stability more than anything else. His best hockey is in front of him now.Signing Kaskisuo to a two year deal could mean they potentially see him as a backup option down the line as well. Could just as easily say McElhinney gets the job next year and then Kaskisuo takes over the year after. Obviously needs to prove himself on the Marlies next year, but Kaskisuo was one of the AHL's better goalies last year, despite what the stats say. Get him a year with our goalie coaches and I think he could easily challenge for one of the top jobs.
Legend.No, you're thinking about Mark Owuya, I think. Swedish goalie/rapper.
That's what I'm thinking as well.Maybe Sparks will be promoted to the Leafs to backup Andersen, while Kaskisuo and Pickard become the Marlies tandem
I think leafs management may try to cash in on sparks in trade. He is playing really well for the marlies but I don't think he has NHL starter upside, sell him off now to a team who hopes he may have that upside (in a package of course). I think most likely scenario is a package for a dman where sparks is 3rd or 4th best piece but a nice piece
