Is he better than Sparks (Sparks played real well last night)?

 

[WilliamNylander]

Sparksy and Hutch

Babcock doesn’t trust Sparks. He shouldn’t.

Good pick up.

 

[Schenn]

Hopefully this doesn't mean Andersen is out any length of time.

Babcock doesn’t trust Sparks. He shouldn’t.

Good pick up.

Hutch is an AHL goalie. And I doubt it was Babcock's decision

 

[Jets]

Meh.

 

[Finnish your Czech]

Leafs have horrible AHL goaltending, this was a needed move. Sparks will still be the backup.

AHL goalie garnered a 5th. Jim Benning where were you? Deal Nilsson for a pick this year please

Coverage for Andersen when injured. Like Hutchinson when he was with the Jets but never developed into a good goalie like I thought he would have been.

Why would u want to trade ur backup for a useless pick when u are fighting for a playoff spot?

 

[BM14]

Will they play INXS before every game he plays?

Why did we get rid of McBackup again?

Why did we get rid of McBackup again?

Because he's old and won't be around much longer.

 

[RainingRats]

he was terrible in Florida

Why did we get rid of McBackup again?

He got claimed on waivers what exactly could Dubas have done to prevent that?

 

[Drew311]

Andersen is dealing with a groin injury, which are notorious for lingering. This is insurance in case he goes out long term. Though the thought of Sparks and Hutchison as a tandem is terrifying.

Put Sparks on waiver instead

Put Sparks on waiver instead

That would be stupid.

 

[Go Wings]

That would be stupid.

Thats true you dont want a good backup you want Sparks instead.

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Put Sparks on waiver instead

that would have solved nothing and possibly led to a bigger issue

Michael Hutchinson is not goaltender insurance.

How much better would the Leafs record be with McElhinny instead of Sparks?

 

[Leaf Fans]

Put Sparks on waiver instead

Why, then we would have lost Sparks. Hutchinson is a Marlie isn't he?
