Sportsnet: Toronto interested in Bernier.

[7even]

I'd take that deal if it was for our 2014 1st rd pick

Say it ain't so.

Do you really expect a better finish than this year? I'm not banking on 48 games, nope, no way. That could EASILY be a top 10 pick.

IF we are giving a first and frattin for bernier..I'll be upset unless we get a good prospect like Toffoli or something. Even though I'd hope we somehow get a first rounder in this draft as it's a pretty freaking awesome draft.

The guy that edge was responding to said exactly that...

The glove hand argument is getting really weak. Every player shoots for the glove hand on every goalie, not just Reimer. They do it because it has a higher chance of going in because most goalies use the Butterfly. Judging from your statement I guess that wouldn't want Crawford on your team and that Bernier is better than him as well? I would also like to know how you know that Bernier doesn't have a weak glove hand? I highly doubt that you've watched him extensively to form this conclusion, you're just basing your opinion off of hype and draft position like most others in this thread.

I do agree that it would be nice to have another good goalie for "insurance", but I disagree that Bernier has so much more potential. They're the same age and Reimer has already shown so much more then Bernier. While you could argue that he hasn't been given the opportunity to show that he could be better, you could also argue that he also hasn't played enough to notice the flaws in his game.

Agreed.

Exactly.

For the record, although Reimer played very well at times in the first round, he also let in several weak goals throughout the series, and he bares a great deal of responsibility for the collapse in game seven. I can't help but wonder if a goaltender with more composure and a better grasp of basic fundamentals would have gotten us past the Bruins. We were the better team overall, we generated more quality scoring chances, and we still lost.

I'm sorry, but it needs to be stated, and I'm glad that management is cognisant of the need to upgrade in goal.

I agree. His rebound control, his reliance on size rather than intelligence, and lack of calmness suggests that we need to improve on this end. I'm not suggesting that we trade him ( Riem has great potential), but at least run a 1A/1B tandem and see which one works best during the playoffs. If we can acquire Bernier at a decent price, I'd go for it.

 

[7even]

Agreed.

PPP has got a great series of articles up on common myths like this one. I'd recommend everyone check 'em out.

PHI considered favourite for Bernier if that's what Flyers want to do, but they have told LA Couturier not available...

eliott friedman says philly has the best package so far (on HNIC). so looks like the leafs were used for page views eh?

Well the bottom line is that Philly needs him more, the Leafs trust Reimer wayyy more than Philly trusts Mason.

I wish...but it won't happen

true and Philly has better assets to parlay. Leafs wouldn't be in this position if they drafted better.

 

[Leaf Rocket]

I wonder what will happen to bryz now.

 

[HEAVY DUTY]

I wonder what will happen to bryz now.

second compliance buyout by philly.

 

[snizzbone*]

Frattin is not a valuable assest...

Maybe not as valuable as the 1st, but he is still a valuable asset. He's a young NHL forward who has not reached his ceiling. He could easily slot into a 2nd line RW spot. Just needs to not have his knee get messed up more.

 

[Paradoc]

C'mon, please get Bernier Nonis..

 

[Leaf Rocket]

second compliance buyout by philly.

trade is out of the question. horrible contract. buyout will happen. i wouldn't mind getting bryz as the back up for reims. i mean hes going to be hilarious in HBO's 24/7.

realistically i can see him heading out to edmonton. maybe even minny as well.

 

[glasses91]

If Philly has Bernier and Mason that's pretty scary. However, If we have Reimer and Bernier were the intimidators. It's just now I have this phobia of trading draft picks for some reason.

Why do you think, we will sink again?

 

[Crispy Crust]

Just trade Brayden Schenn back to LA.

 

[thewave]

Haha with the Philly system they need a 3/4" plywood for a tender.

 

[Duffman955]

Seriously, philly is the worst place for a goaltender to go.

Look what happened to Bryzgalov, and Bobrovsky.

 

[devilinto]

Toronto is the worse place a goAlie could go

 

[The_Chosen_One]

Why do you think, we will sink again?

If we have a Riemier-Bernier tandem at goal, we're definitely not tanking. The only reason why we didn't make the playoffs in the previous years was because of poor goaltending. Once it became decent with Riemer/ Scrivens, we contended.
