Better long term potential - Kaskisuo or Sparks?

[Pit Bulls]

Who has the better upside long term Garret Sparks or Kasmir Kaskisuo (both TOR goalies)?

To be honest, I don't know much about Kaskisuo. On the surface, both Sparks and Kaskisuo seem very similar - both 22, Sparks is 6'3", 200 lbs. .893 SV%, 3.02 GAA. Kaskisuo, from Finland, is 6'3", 201 lbs.

Sparks has played in 17 NHL games, Kaskisuo none.

Anyone have any insight as to which goalie has the best upside long term?

Based on some of Kaskisuo's numbers so far, when all is said and done he may end up being the better goalie, but I don't think we see him for a few years at least. Sparks could be a backup as soon as next year, so timeline wise, would be the one to own.
I'm going Kaskisuo if I want a diamond in the rough and have space to sit on him for four years.

Watched Sparks play quite a bit last year in T.O. and during his stay in Guelph with the Storm. I really like Spark's game. Not sure either will end up being major Fantasy contributors, but Sparks (as our Eskimo Brother points out) is much closer to getting playing time and with the way Bernier has played, failed to play, I think he stands a greater chance of having a Reimer type impact on the leafs if the opportunity presents itself.

But I don't see much Risk with either and limited reward with both.

Sparks get's my vote though but agree, Kaskisuo may be just as good and/or the better stash long term.

Sparks will get a shot first which really matters for goalies.

Thanks guys, appreciate the input. This helps, as I said before, I don't really know much about Kaskisuo and have only seen Sparks play a few times.
