Unbelievable numbers in the AHL and being blocked by Frederik Andersen for the next 5 years IIRC.

His stats 2 years ago are comparable to Rittich that season. I wonder how much of his killer year last year was down to being on a dominant team?
Both Rittich and Gillies have put up good years in the AHL, so going to another guy who has only really performed at that level is both a risk and a snub to the guys in the system. Sure Sparks has done this year over year, but he did not do well in his NHL stint and if he was a guy they wanted in the NHL the leafs would trade McBackup
I think if you make a trade for a goaltender it has to be a guy with an NHL track record or a "can't miss" prospect with at lest good numbers in limited NHL time (or other pro league)
