The trick will be getting him through waivers.

I'm not terribly concerned about him getting through waivers.  Sparks, on the other hand, won't pass through them IMO.

I don't think there is any intention for him to be anything other than the Leafs backup this season.

Yeah given the fact that Pickard was relegated to a back-up role even in the AHL this season (obviously not because of his poor play though) I don't think it'll be tough to get him through waivers on the last day of training camp.

Agreed.  McBackup will either be traded or put on waivers by the start of next year.

Overpayment.  Obviously Dubas is proving his critics right, he's been taken to the cleaners on this signing on both the salary and the term.
