PF is right. There is little, to no, reason to spend assets on a backup goaltender this year. Especially 2mil + trade assets to acquire Bernier. That also assumes Toronto would actually eat half his salary which is anyone's guess.
If they want to get a backup it should be one that's extremely cheap(contact wise), and would cost nothing more than a 5-7th round pick.
Once the playoffs start, backup goaltender is meaningless unless Jones goes down, and would anyone honestly be comfortable with a single one of the backup goaltenders talked about to replace Stalock, having any chance to win us a cup? No, is my opinion. We don't even know if jones can do it, let alone a guy like Ramo, or Bernier, or Scrivens, etc.
So seriously, what is the point with like 25 games left, maybe 5-6 of which Stalock will start for, spending time, assets, and money on a backup, who won't really help us much more if jones goes down, do for us? The short term benefit is so minuscule, and the long term benefits are basically zero, with the potential negatives (one less pick, prospect,less salary cap, etc) having greater chance to hurt us more than any benefit we would get from a backup who "might" get better results in a handful of games this year.
