I know Bernier has done really well so far in the NHL, but thats no reason to suggest he is >>>>>>>> than Perry and Getzlaf.
Right now, he is certainly better than Perry in most facets of the game, and he has a higher ceiling. I think Getzlaf might become slightly better than Bernier, however. While Getzlaf can't hope to match Bernier's finishing ability, he is a significantly better skater and is a better two-way player. While Bernier may be stronger than Getzlaf, Getzlaf utilizes his strength more often than Bernier. Of course, need will reflect who is more valuable. For San Jose, Bernier is infinitely more valuable because of their incredible depth at center. Anaheim has Bobby Ryan and Dustin Penner to take up the power forward roles. Combined with its good depth in wing and their dire need for a true #1 center, Getzlaf is better for them.
