Would have to throw in a decent prospect. And it's very unlikely Carolina parts with mcbackup, he's their best goalie.

I’m not saying we should have kept McElhinney instead of Sparks, but he sure is looking good in Carolina this year. A damn good goalie and a real stand up guy, I’m glad to see him doing so well on a middling Carolina team. I don’t know what we would do with him and Sparks. We would have to trade out Sparks I guess.

I can’t even possibly think of anything else to say about Hamilton that I haven’t said a thousand times already. If we could get him for the right price, then sure, why not bring him in. At minimal he has got to be better than Hainsey, though hard to say by how much better he increases our odds of winning. I don’t know what his “value over replacement” is here. Hainsey is doing rather well this year too after all. If Johnsson is the price, I say go for it. Even though losing Johnsson would really suck and weaken that LW even more. We would almost definitely have to make another trade somehow to replace him.

I don't get the need for leaf fans to have mccheliney backup play like 15 games MAX a year baring an injury sparks has been fine all you ask is for your backup to get the win it dosnt matter how they dpo it, as long as they do it and he has I believe he only has like 2 or 3 losses and even hutchinoson was great and I would be ore than happy ith eithe rof them mich rather spend assets on D than a goalie who wil play less than 10 games for the rest if the year and VERY LIKELY none in the playoffs.
