Is sparks ready for backup role with leafs. Rags can't send him down next season without clearing waivers.

Carolina trade Pesce stempniak salary dump

Toronto Bozak sparks Leivo

This trade is fair return for canes and they have awful goaltending. Carolina need a second line Center

Cmon Davidmackin, Bozak is a RFA and Carolina is not a contender. that's a bad combination. But not is all lost, Toronto would love that deal!

Everyone seems to think that Garret Sparks is all of a sudden an NHL goalie. There are tons of goalies who have incredible AHL numbers every season and then choke in the Bigs.
I would like to give Sparks another try in the NHL. BUt his incredible AHL numbers even before a couple years ago didn't help him survive in 17 games in the NHL.
I honestly wouldn't be shocked if we never saw Sparks play another NHL game. It sucks. I hope he gets another chance to prove himself but I think he is done.

Pickard is undervalued as well. I think his skill set is better than a back up but not quite a starter. He is 25, and every stint he has in the bigs he has proven reliable with a BAD Colorado team. 28-44-6, 2.77, .914.
Pickard is a keeper and I would not trade him. I think he wuld be more than happy to be a career backup for a team like Toronto.
