It's been a long time since we've had a fairly *great* goalie...oh wiat.....we've never had one! Hrudey wasn't all that bad but still. for once we have drafted a goalie in the first round that isn't (so far) a bust! and we've still got Jeff Zatkoff too!
Monarchs' Bernier is Goaltender of the Month
November 2, 2009
SPRINGFIELD, Mass. … The American Hockey League announced today that Jonathan Bernier of the Manchester Monarchs has been named the Reebok/AHL Goaltender of the Month for October. Bernier was 6-1-0 in seven appearances on the month, with a 1.29 goals-against average, a .963 save percentage and two shutouts.
If Quick is a legit starter for next 5 years I am hoping Bernier can go to Chicago for something! Imagine Kane Toews Hossa, Seabrook Barker Keith Campbell and Bernier. That looks like a future dynasty to me
Talk about resurrecting from the dead!
And you don't think one of those players would be coming back in the deal for Bernier?
He never was dead.
Bernier has been pretty solid down in Manchester, his teammate Jeff Zatkoff has been even better though.
Not just for Bernier, no. If they Kings wanted one of those guys, at this point they would have to be giving up more than an AHL goalie.

Despite some of the praise he's been reeiving, Quick's season thus far gets a meh from me. Not terrible, not really good. At his young age, that's not really a bad thing. But he hasn't show he's a definite go to guy. The Kings look like a great up and coming team, however, so whomever has the job is in for a nice gig.

I am not big on Quick myself, and it's not just because he wasn't high profile, most of it has to do with the fact that Ersberg was playing great last year, and he only got his shot due to injury.
I think fact number two is that the defense and general responsible 2-way play by the kings has also surprised.
No knock on Quick, I just Think Bernier can be a superstar and the team needs to go there ASAP as it's fast becoming a team with Dynasty Caliber talent.
Go Rangers!!
If he is just an AHL goalie...I guess LA will just have to keep his worthless butt.
Why do want an AHL goalie backstopping your dynasty, then?
