Frank, can we call him Frank? is younger than Bernier
He wears #33. Are they bringing down Roy's number?
'Couzey
He can just reverse the numbers.
I think you are right about Morris. He would have probably signed with a team by now although it is still early.I say bring back Picks! Morris is unlikely to sign a NHL deal this year.
The way I look at it is if Bernier, plays somewhat decently during the rest of his starts we probably don't have to go on a 10 game winning streak because we would have won a few more of his other starts.It’s hard to be so blunt about Bernier like this. Yes, he was bad in the playoffs, and bad for a large part of the season. But if he didn’t step up on that 10 game win streak, the season would have crashed and burned midway through like the previous year. I’m glad they won’t be re-signing him, but he was well worth bringing in just for that 10 game win streak alone.
I think you are being way too rough on Bernier. He did not do that bad outside those 10 games. And besides don't forget that he was not even practicing with the team during the playoffs due to a minor injuries.The way I look at it is if Bernier, plays somewhat decently during the rest of his starts we probably don't have to go on a 10 game winning streak because we would have won a few more of his other starts.
The fact is he didn't really give his best effort this year outside of those 10 games and that really rubbed me the wrong way. And the playoffs was absolutely poor. He couldn't stop a beach ball against Nashville. He can go be a C level backup elsewhere.
His sub .900sv% outside of those 10 games is truly pathetic in this day and age of the NHL.I think you are being way too rough on Bernier. He did not do that bad outside those 10 games.

Curious...is there any significance in the salary? Why would they pay him $690,000 and not $700,000? I understand with averages it happens often but for only one year it is a weird number. Does getting $700,000 bring other benefit(s) that I don't know about? Again just curious.

And if he was injured in the playoffs he shouldn't have played. He hurt us more than helped us if that's the case. It's one thing to have skaters play through some stuff in the playoffs but hurt goalies don't help you. At least Hammond was healthy and could have given 100%.
More often than not you would be right if you are talking about your #1 and #2 goalies but in this case we are talking #2 and #3 goalies. Obviously they felt more comfortable using a less than 100% #2 than the 100% #3. We don't have the full story.His sub .900sv% outside of those 10 games is truly pathetic in this day and age of the NHL.

We will see how this looks when Varly is out for 2 months next season. Hope the Frenchman can play
It's not that he got his head banged against the post and suffered from PCS. This view of Bernier is hot take to the max.The way I look at it is if Bernier, plays somewhat decently during the rest of his starts we probably don't have to go on a 10 game winning streak because we would have won a few more of his other starts.
