Lindberg and a 6th.
By letting him clear waivers he can now be assigned to the AHL immediately if they wish.

I think Sparks sucks and would have kept Bibeau over him.

Bibeau has a 0.906 career save percentage in the AHL, and is coming off a season where he posted 0.894.
Sparks has a 0.922 career save percentage in the AHL, and is coming off a season where he posted 0.922.
Neither are likely NHL options, but there's really nothing to suggest that Sparks isn't a much better goalie than Bibeau right now.
You might be right though that they haven't soured on McBackup quite yet.

I feel like Sparks' shutout against Edmonton really blinded people. That was against an atrocious Edmonton team that I believe was missing McDavid. He was not good in that game and still came away with a shutout.
