Fitz is moving fast.

 

[Classic Devil]

Good. Two years, so not stuck with someone in decline / will have plenty of room for the young goalies on the farm to come up. Should make a good tandem with Blackwood. Hoping it's 2 years/$2M per, but if it's 2 years/$4M per I'm not going to freak out about it.

 

[RememberTheName]

Great signing. Bernier put up pretty decent numbers behind probably the worst team in the NHL over the past 3 seasons.

 

[HyperX]

Awesome pickup if true. Was nervous wed sign Holtby, he stinks

 

[Emperoreddy]

 

[Darkauron]

The first signing of the day Dougi-.... Bernier?

Solid signing. Cant be mad about it at all

 

[britdevil]

Right up to Macs next contract. Nice get.

 

[Devilsfan992]

Not Crawford level good but as long as he doesn't call it quits during training camp, it's an upgrade from last year.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

its high but whatever

 

[NJDevs26]

So basically the Crawford deal

 

[Whaddagoal]

A little steep, but if he fits into this tandem then no worse off....

At least we now have a legit tandem.

 

[Emperoreddy]

 

[Cheddabombs]

Fine by me, good backup for Mac

 

[SKNJD9]

Good. That's who I wanted his Sv% was impressive behind that dumpster fire in Det

 

[hidek91]

the cap hit gets even higher but it was probably necessary to avoid 3rd year

 

[Triumph]

You'd like the AAV to be lower, but Bernier is the perfect fit here. This is who I wanted before free agency. 2 years a fine length.

 

[Emperoreddy]

 

[Blender]

I'm fine with it.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Zero issue with the money being high. Perfect fit, fills a big need, and the term is great.

 

[Zajacs Bowl Cut]

its basically the same AAV Crawford had

 

[Mr Bojanglez]

not my top choice - but he was one of about 5 guys I was ok with. He's had ups and downs his whole career - but then again i guess that's why he's not a starter.

 

[Darkauron]

Great stats for being on a bad team

 

[Emperoreddy]

 

[MartyOwns]

cap hit is a bit high but who gives a shit
