Minor Offseason Moves

[herman]

Neither #tblightning nor #Preds have announced this, but according to https://t.co/1vnoy5bozA trade tracker goalie prospect Connor Ingram was traded to Preds for a 7th rounder in 2021. Ingram’s agent said neither he nor Connor had been notified about it being official yet.

Not confirmed by teams yet at the time of this posting. Ingram for a 2021 7th rd pick.

Was kind of hoping the Leafs would bite on this.

If all they got was a 7th then you figure there might be an opportunity but it's also understandable that Tampa wouldn't want to move him within the division.

Per GM Chuck Fletcher: The #Flyers have placed defenseman Andrew MacDonald on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract.

I was kind of hoping they’d roll out two super vets to anchor their young star defense men.

Heard #Leafsforever inquired on 22yr old G Connor Ingram before the #GoBolts dealt him to the #Preds for a 2021 7th. Ingram, who mysteriously finished the yaer in the ECHL just months after being named an AHL all-star, could've been a low-risk/ high-reward  pickup for TOR. @TLNdc

A Sparks for Ingram trade would have made some sense since Tampa doesn't have any AHL goalies now. Assuming they were comfortable with Sparks passing through waivers and the Leafs were comfortable thinking they could find another back-up. Ah well.

Pretty sure he'd pass through waivers with the season he just had. Did seem like a good fit for both teams with both wanting to dump a problem goalie.

Pickard got picked up last year.

Pickard played very well for the Marlies. Sparks was horrible for the Leafs. The risk for TBay was minimal seeing they got a 7th round pick for him.

They both played Marlies together. One was the starter and MVP.  It wasn't Pickard.

We're not talking back then, we're talking now. Sparks value couldn't be lower and if the suggested trade went down, the risk of him getting plucked off waivers isn't that high, especially considering the alternative was a 7th round pick.

It was one year ago when Pickard,  coming off being an AHL backup, got picked up by two teams in a season. I have little trouble believing someone would take Sparks in similar situation.
