Confirmed Trade: [TOR/ANA] Bernier to Anaheim for conditional 2017 pick

[X66]

Doesn't Anaheim still have quite a few holes up front and have a tight budget? $4.15m for a backup goalie.

You're asking too many questions, Brother Nero.

It's not about cap space really for Ducks - just salary.

 

[Pyrophorus]

I disagree.

I don't see how this was necessary at all.

Andersen, with Bernier at 2, was a solid tandem.
Better than Andersen/Sparks, and if you want Bibeau to become anything more, playing him as backup int he NHL won't help that

This is my main concern, now they to search for someone else.
Possibly Enroth.

I was one of many who said that both Bernier and Reimer would eventually be gone.

 

[McDrailers]

Probably has nightmares of playing in front of Carlyle's "defensive" scheme.



Kinda. Although we need to sign a back up now.

Sparks will back up

 

[M.C.G. 31]

4.15 cap space. 2.15 salary which is what matters.

Ah, I wasn't aware there was $2m bonus on that. Never mind then.

 

[Kalost]

i thought he was worth a 1st

 

[Vitto79]

im sure its 50 retained and a 7th going back lol

who the heck is the Leafs goalie? Enroth now?

 

[Pyrophorus]

Sparks will back up

No he won't-or I certainly hope not.

 

[KingPuckChoo]

Martin Jones - SJ
Jonathan Bernier - ANA
Jonathan Quick - LA

the LA/CALI Goalie Trifecta has begun

 

[Highlander23]

So the Ducks add +4mil to cap BEFORE signing Lindholm/the rest of their RFAs, interesting !!

 

[WTFMAN99]

Sparks will back up

Nah. Sparks sucks, and organisation doesn't seem that high on him. Bibeau got the starts in the AHL playoffs over Sparks.

 

[Henchmen 21]

i thought he was worth a 1st

In 2006 sure

 

[buttman*]

I hope this lets us bring back Reimer

Do you not read the news?

 

[MXD]

Hummm... at least gives some "guarantee" for the expansion draft

 

[BB88]

Still seems like they wont have that much room to play with,
under 10M cap space with 10 forwards, 6 D-players and 2 goalies, Lindholm and Rakell need to be re-signed.

Seems quite expensive backup for the situation.

 

[Quack Shot]

im sure its 50 retained and a 7th going back lol

who the heck is the Leafs goalie? Enroth now?

Andersen.

That was my first thought. Seems like a lot to pay for a backup. Maybe they've got a suitor for JB that TO wouldn't have traded with ala Jones last season.

 

[last_sd]

im sure its 50 retained and a 7th going back lol

who the heck is the Leafs goalie? Enroth now?

Andersen?

 

[KingJoffrey]

So if Bernier is better than Andersen should he then be new #1 for Ducks? Andersen was clearly better than Gibson.

 

[Finnish your Czech]

i thought he was worth a 1st

In 2014 he was

Toronto can sign any average UFA goalie, or even claim some youngster on waivers. That will give them the backup they need, and it will cost a quarter of Bernier's contract.

It's obvious to me that the Toronto management team decided Reimer/Bernier wasn't ever going to work. So they are both gone.

 

[SenzZen]

Umm... Frederik Andersen?...

 

[ForSpareParts*]

What the heklllckckckck!?!!

 

[M.C.G. 31]

who the heck is the Leafs goalie? Enroth now?

Andersen-Ramo?

 

[Canadian Jesus]

Bernier is just awful; Anaheim loses this trade for taking that cap hit for free from Toronto
