While it's a small sample size, his Sv% in his dozen NHL games last season was slightly better than Gustavsson, and he's been awfully impressive in this Calder Cup run. Since I don't see the Leafs as being Cup contenders next season, I'd be perfectly comfortable sending him out for 25 or so starts to see what he can do
If you're going to use a small sample size, you should also consider Gustavsson's AHL experience, where he got a much higher sv% than Scrivens currently has.
Personally, I'd be fine with either as a backup. While his total body of work isn't super impressive, Gustavsson has shown a high level of play for stretches.
If one goalie has to go to give the other a chance, it's obvious that Scrivens will be the one to stay.
