Why do we need a second back up. We started with 3 back ups and you want another one?
I have a feeling Mac and Pickard will both be on waivers by Christmas, so I don't think we should give up assets. Sparks deserves a few more games.
Waiving mcelhinney after the success he had there still baffles me. Why mess with a good situation?
Play some defence in front of the guy!
Tie up sticks, move a body, throw a hit here and there....you know, d stuff.
If you track race with other teams it won’t matter who you have in net. It’s gonna be ugly
That said. Halak for Nylander. Signed. At 4 million per
People can think this is silly, but here’s Babcock’s thoughts.
Not sure why the Leafs chose not to throw him in the minors one more year
Reactionary Leafs threads in the trade forums. Hockey season has started guys!!
What goalies are available league wide and what is the pricing.
TOR needs a legitimate backup goalie not a question mark. McElhinney was a perfect fit.
People tend to underestimate the importance of a quality backup goalie.
Our management made a judgment error and it’s clear we need to give up some sort of asset to correct that.
I wouldn’t be so sure. It’s not very difficult to outplay Mrazek. McElhinney is a veteran who knows his role and is solid at it. Mrazek, I’m not so sure. Wouldn’t surprise me if he were out of the league in a year or two.Mcelhinney will end up on waiver soon. Pickard too.
They will play good defensively with the current group because shanahan will demand it from them because when he played on the wings they defended well.Hold on you expect that team to play good defensively with that squad? Good luck with that.
You wouldn't be saying that if the Leafs lost now ,would ya? How many 6 goal games are you willing to see? long as they win,it doesn't matter?1-0-0
Relax and let the kid get settled.
This is it. Pickard will be back on waivers if the Flyers decide to keep Neuvirth as backup when he's healthy. Or they could take Neuvirth, probably a better option for a team with playoff aspirations.I have a feeling Mac and Pickard will both be on waivers by Christmas, so I don't think we should give up assets. Sparks deserves a few more games.
Well, then ship Nylander plus Sparks to Montreal for Price.That's basically what happened. Sparks is a big goalie with no structure and no head for the game. Perfect for a tank job, doesn't seem as good for a contender.
