The Toronto Maple Leafs have made three individual goaltending moves this offseason. The team signed Michal Neuvirth to a professional tryout and Michael Hutchinson to a one-year contract. They also traded Garret Sparks to the Las Vegas Golden Knights. The moves will culminate in Neuvirth and Hutchinson battling for the backup position.
The hope is that sending Sparks to the desert in exchange for David Clarkson for the benefit of cap space, has not set the team back. The Leafs have an unfortunate history of poor decisions when it comes to roster decisions with their goaltenders.
