I don't know he was a back-up with New York for years. I recall the days of Bern saying he would be a great starter because he needed the workload and wasn't meant as a back-upHe's probably the same echelon of goalie as Vanecek, can be an elite backstop in a system but garbage as a #1.
If the Sharks find a taker for him (or he signs on as a backup) he can have a strong season next year.
He did have one good season but I don't really think it matters he just isn't that great
