If Gibson for whatever reason goes down, and Bernier gets games consistently I can see him having a season similar to 13/14, and like Dirk said; Carlyle's systems allows lots of shots but they're usually perimeter or low percentage areas... Could only boost his stats to look better, as long Ducks play tight in front of him.
As a leaf fan this trade has potential to look pretty silly as soon as new year if Bernier outperforms Andersen next year, all while you guys adding Steel and whomever next year on top. I'm not angry or anything, as I don't believe Bernier could ever become a starter for us here, it's just a risky move by Leafs mgmt -- they must be completely sold on Andersen.
Any news on the conditions yet? Really curious to find out if it's anything noteworthy.. Lou described it as future considerations, so I doubt it's much.
