Loaned to Calgary.

Sparks is on an ECHL-only deal with Orlando.

He has had good minor league numbers. Anything that helps these teams get to the playoffs.

Sure, why not. There's no limit on how many goalies you can bring into camp so it's a good idea to have the extra insurance in case of an injury to one of the top three.

I still think we will see 4 goalies combined between roster and taxi squad. Keeping Sparks in isolation as an emergency replacement makes sense to me.

I doubt this gives any indication on Parsons' status. He'll be in camp for sure, though — Markstrom, Rittich, Domingue, Sparks, Parsons, Zagidulin. Six guys, allows for two guys in each group if they go with three divisions.

I doubt Wolf comes to camp, personally. But we'll see.

Sparksy! We had high hopes for him in Toronto but he flamed out spectacularly in the end. The team even took him off the roster before going into the playoffs for unexplained reasons.

He always seemed different than most hockey players. Maybe a little like Dougie Hamilton. Probably likes going to museums which makes him an outcast in hockey world.

One of the best NHL debuts though with his post game interview. Hope he finds his stuff again.

One thing I noticed before Sparks had his big moment he seems to be always on his social media accounts and not really focusing on his game play.

He's pretty much a big star on the GGSU Facebook group but since he's been traded a few times he's been quiet and not posting as much.

Good for him to try and get another crack at the big leagues through, I think he's still got potential to be a decent goalie in the NHL. Always loved his taste in pads, definitely can't wait to see what he's sporting even if it's only a PTO.

I'm pretty sure camp opens in the first week of the new year, no? The Flames's first game is on 14 January.

Your editor? Like Ryan Pike is your editor or someone else? Are you in media now or I missing something?
