Sparks had his chance-and blew it
Bibeau I think has more potential
I agree Bernier sucks as a number 1, but maybe he would be a better option than the other two guys as a backup

The other 2 guys had wins before garbage time, at least Sparks did.
Can't remember when they brought up Bibeau.

Well according to wikipedia Bibeau has 0 NHL games.

Sparks blew it... a 22 year old guy who you want to write off after a whopping 15 games? but keep the french-canadian tire fire who's sucked for the better part of two full seasons?

please explain what allows you to write off a young goalie but make excuses for one who's much older?












nah... don't bother.

The leafs owner is a real cheapo, would not offer enough cash to entice Stamkos to play in his hometown.

The cheapo owner even brought in the CEO of Canadian Tire, to entice him with more endorsement money to sign with the cheapo leafs owner.

The leafs cheapo owner even had the Mayor of toronto beg Stamkos to sign with the leafs ............. pathetic!

How dare Stamkos try to get more money out of the only team he has, and wanted to play for! He truly is worse than Hitler! Boo, I say, boo...

I'm confused. You want to keep Bernier? okay. I can get on board with that. Only because you have to expose some players to the expansion draft, and he might be of use there.

Or are you suggesting something else?

If we can keep Sparks and Bibeau, with the Marlies, and they're not exposed, and they maybe get some playing time in 2017/18, that's a great idea.

Sparks and bibeau will need to be exposed in expansion draft.

Bernier isn't under contract for 2017-18

oh. Okay. Right - two pro years, AHL counts too.

To be honest, I don't think it matters. I suspect there will be far better options out there than Sparks or Bibeau. Let them play the year in the AHL. Do'nt give them tonnes of NHL time, because that chances that they take off, then we actually do have a problem. Let Bernier play out the year, let him go, and then maybe one of the two kids is ready for backup duties in 17/18.

We don't really have a problem with goalies being exposed right now. Because we do'nt have anything worth claiming other than Andersen.

Don't have to retain, they pay him the 2 million tomorrow, leaves 2.15 in salary for whom ever takes him.

Are you talking about trading him?

Why bother? Let him play out the year as backup, and be free to sign anywhere he wants.
