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

[Vitto79]

Andersen?

sorry back up, Enroth?

 

[Pyrophorus]

What are the odds that Bernier has better numbers this year than Anderson?

little
Carlyle vs. Babcock.

JB will have to face many more shots, and getting shelled.

 

[The Night King]

Nelson Mandela would be proud.

 

[Bourne Endeavor]

Always liked Bernier. Hopefully, he can get his career back on track with a fresh start.

 

[airforceones25]

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

As some have previously pointed out our cap hit isn't the problem.. We have the space is the actually salary amount.

So at 2.15 for Bernier is fine for a backup regardless what his cap hit is..

 

[X66]

I highly doubt you see Sparks as the Leafs back-up next season, although he was key in securing Matthews.

 

[The Thin White Duke]

little
Carlyle vs. Babcock.

JB will have to face many more shots, and getting shelled.

Save percentage tends to rise with the amount of shots faced oddly enough.

 

[Mightygoose]

I would have liked Bernier and Andersen to battle it out for # 1 this season then we would have a reliable back up.

Not sold on Bibeau or Sparks at #2 as of yet. I'm sure there's more to come.

 

[Doug Gilmour]

I highly doubt you see Sparks as the Leafs back-up next season, although he was key in securing Matthews.

So he can help us get Patrick next

 

[Danish Pastry]

at some point the kings will have trained all the goalies in the pacific

 

[BB88]

As some have previously pointed out our cap hit isn't the problem.. We have the space is the actually salary amount.

So at 2.15 for Bernier is fine for a backup regardless what his cap hit is..

Looks like Lindholm and Rakell need to be re-signed for around 8M compined.

 

[pheasant]

Good for both teams. Anaheim gets a usefull backup, who can play for stretches if needed. And they pay less dollars than the cap hits.

Toronto gets some cap space, and they get change. Now sign Ramo/Enroth or watch the waiver wire.

 

[Captain Mountain]

little
Carlyle vs. Babcock.

JB will have to face many more shots, and getting shelled.

The Ducks have the better roster though.

On top of that, playing the way Carlyle teams do don't necessarily mean that goalie numbers are lower, just that the team controls the puck less and losses more than they probably should. A lot of goalies actually perform better when getting shelled.

Still don't think Bernier will have better numbers though.

 

[Makar Goes Fast]

essentially %50 of bernier for a conditional pick. interested in the conditions, im sure it has to do with games played

 

[Derrty]

Bernier is great again apparently.

Not that I'm surprised.

 

[Mikeshane]

I don't understand what the Ducks are doing as far as their cap goes. They're barely gonna be able to sign Lindholm and Rakell now. I can only assume they're trading a defenseman for a lower priced forward.

 

[StanleyTOR]

As a Leafs fan, I liked Bernier. I wish him nothing but the best in ANA. He is really talented, I think Bernier is a great complement to Gibson

 

[dracom]

Ducks/Leafs are the best trading partners for some reason.

Bernier should be a good back for Gibson.

 

[mytduxfan*]

Good pick-up... I'm pleased

 

[pheasant]

Not sold on Bibeau or Sparks at #2 as of yet. I'm sure there's more to come.

Backups are easily available.

Management in Toronto made it clear that they didn't want any goalie battle. Louis said straight up that the Andersen contract was to let Freddy know he was the #1.

I'm hoping we get our 2nd rounder back.

 

[uncleben]

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.

Andersen/Bernier was a good tandem, and if things stay this way, we just got worse.

If we get a comparable UFA goalie signed, well, that cap hit really didn't mean much to us right now.just seems like player movement for the sake of player movement.

I really should wait to see the conditions/potential picks though.


Wish Bernier the best!
He's going to do well in Anaheim.

 

[CupInSIX]

Probably supposed to be part of the original deal a week ago, and the Ducks circled back *quack quack*

If he was a Hab:
Media: by golly the media in Montreal is just way too harsh, they ruined this poor man with a promising career #pressurecooker

As a Leaf:
Media: didn't work out for a multitude of reasons. Guess he was never that good

 

[pheasant]

For the record, Anaheim should be happy. Bernier could really excel, and I hope he does. He has skill, and will be in a much better situation for him now. But it was over in Toronto. He blew every chance to be the reality starter.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Wouldn't be surprised if he put up better numbers than Anderson this year. what's bernier's cap hit? I thought Ana was having some cap issues. do they have anyone to sign still other than Lindholm?

Yea, he might. Craig Anderson is on the decline.
