In it's defence, it kind of resembles one. Also fitting being named after an airline.

- Big_Lightnin


Nonis, what about all the verteran help? What about Reimer playing awesome and doing what he had to do? What happens if Bernier's riding pine in 6 months and requests another trade? Goalie controversy every game - yay! And Scrivens sucks so bad he's backing up in crap LA, even though him and Reims were good and are close buds! Yay! Better yet, let's trade for Loungo! Then Bernier and Loungo can duke it out and we'll trade Reimer to NJ and he can beat us in the playoffs next year! Yay!

Ha ha , jokes, in seriousness, Bernier does look good, but man why bother?

I would love to have the 7th pick..but I dont know how we could replace Dion...even as brain dead as he is sometimes. I think the team might take a step back next season...maybe not

i think Oilers fan laugh in your face for that offer though

Agreed. Losing Phaneuf for a forward is a major step backwards.

Scrivens wanted to be a #1 too. Still had 2 young goalies who both wanted to be #1's. Difference is, now it's actually a realistic challenge.

One of them will be a true #1 by next summer, and the other will likely be moved. Either way, goaltending will be better next season.

Any decent Vet goalie would have cost about the same package, unless it's a UFA signing. Especially after Vokoun - market just went up on these guys.


Personally I think Bernier has a higher ceiling than Reimer, but Reimer just keeps embracing challenges and putting up great numbers. No reason to think that won't happen again. Then Bernier becomes a tradable asset. Win-win. Still more valuable than Frattin and Scrivens.

I was looking forward to having one season since 2004 without a goaltending controversy. Collapse or no collapse, the feeling was that Reimer had earned himself a starting job in the NHL by putting up numbers in the playoffs equal to his stellar regular season.

It turns out that we're still not out of the woods. Makes me long for the days for Belfour, Joseph, or Potvin when we had a steady starter. No BS. No distractions. Just a solid #1.
