He's a competent backup. Not much more, not much less. I personally had more confidence in Toskala, but to play 15-20% of a season, I would accept MacDonald. He did well in the last game.
His lack of style concerns me at times because he ends up on the ice so often. Then again, some goaltenders (Hasek, Thomas) are willing to dispose of their style to make any save, so this could be a visual effect of his saves more than an actual goal concern.
