Confirmed with Link: Bernier traded to Ducks for a conditional 2017 draft pick

[Schenn]

Looks like Sparks is the back up again.

 

[bobermay]

Hope we sign Scrivens or Lindback

 

[Alerion]

Good riddance. I wonder what the pick is.

 

[Menzinger]

Good.

Another one of Nonis' mistakes removed. What a terrible and ultimately unnecessary investment the Bernier experiment was.

Now let's just hope they don't do anything stupid with that capspace

 

[Un33q]

Bye bye Berns.
Hello cap relief.

 

[Morgs]

Duh.

Now please no stupid Kris Russel contract. <3

 

[KGL]

Really worried this is why Russell hasn't signed anywhere yet. Maybe they told him they were going to clear room for him. Seriously hope that isn't the case.

 

[bobermay]

Hope we sign Scrivens or Lindback

Or trade one of our depth winger prospects for a goaltender

Looks like Sparks is the back up again.

Lou Lamoriello said a backup will be acquired in some way.

 

[SprDaVE]

Bye bye Berns.
Hello cap relief.

Hello Kris... Russell?

 

[mallory67]

Niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

And you could say I called this by the way. Been saying Bernier to Anaheim made so much sense.

So we switched from Bernier to Anderson for about $1,000,000/yr?
Not bad Lou, not bad at all.

Not good for Tank nation, as Bernier was a senior general ... always good for a loss.

 

[UllmansTiger]

Pay the 2 Million and wait 8 days?

Yeah, a bit weird but they may have been debating it from other angles. Hopefully that conditional pick is something.

 

[CanadasTeam]

whew, finally no more goalie controversial (for a while, at least)

 

[Duke Silver]

Pay the 2 Million and wait 8 days?

Anaheim wanted cap room for free agency? Didn't do anything, so now have the room.

 

[Morgs]

Lol... Yes Berger, we had to trade Bernier's $4.15m to afford an ELC.

 

[Stephen]

Hello Kris... Russell?

Stamkos sign and trade...

 

[Once]

NO KRIS RUSSELL! I am more than content with our current roster. Sign a backup and move on until training camp

 

[Finnish your Czech]

So what are the % chances we actually find out what the conditions on the pick are? 2%?

 

[Sokil]

Should have just thrown him in the Andersen deal if they wanted him.

Bernier had a $2m signing bonus that activated on July 1st. Ducks didn't want to be on the hook for that. This is kinda like a buyout; Leafs on the hook for half his salary even though he's gone from the team.

 

[Budsfan]

So who plays Back-up?

 

[Suntouchable13]

I thought I would never see the day where both Bernier and Reimer are gone. Finally.

Don't scare me please

Wow Nonis was REALLY bad. So happy with our management now, it makes up for that non-confident/no idea what he's doing GM.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Like to sign Enroth please.

 

[Chief keefe]

Im sad to see him go. I was a fan. Although he wasn't strong mentally I truly believed that this guy had the talent and skill level to be a true #1. He just wasn't focused and let things get to him. Hope he does well on a great team!
