Don't think #3 will help a problem like that but that's just me and a pile of other people

Kevin Lowe isn't one of those people, however.

How about Taylor Hall for Phaneuf? We get our first line center and you get your defensive leader.

Leaf Nation would do it in a heartbeat. Would Oiler Nation do it?

And yes, Hall plays wing.

Ha ha, it's more that Bernier wanted a trade "to be a number one". Especially what Nonis is saying to Reimer, good job but we've brought this guy in who's sole purpose is to steal your job. And I realize every goalie is trying to win the job every night, but after all the veteran backup talk it seems strange. I think he's trading one of them.

He may already have a deal on the table for Reimer. Someone like the Islanders, might be inclined to take Reimer, for Ryan Strome and a switch of first rounders.

Oh yyeeeaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

Is that sarcasm or do u like the Hall for Dion trade?

Lou wants Bernier but doesn't have anything LA wants? Me thinks so!

Guess a couple votes means a lot to some

No, no, we still value your opinion the most.

Please feel free to leave your comment card in the bin out front and we'll be sure to read it.

@Real_ESPNLeBrun: My blog on the Bernier trade, http://t.co/1clS3Kh6Hp

Like the Kings, I’m extremely high on Bernier. I think he’s got star No. 1 written all over him. He’ll have to fight for his starts with James Reimer, but that’s a healthy competition. The Leafs’ front office was just never totally comfortable giving the keys to the kingdom solely to Reimer. Now they feel they’ve doubled their bets

I think you're right. They'll have them fight it out like Price/Halak and trade off one after the years end if both are quality or if one is just crap.

I love how the most reputable sports news network in the country has to throw in a reference to Cap Geek.

"According to cap geek, we couldn't be bothered to even look at our own archives which would have told us as much."

You're missing the sell high point...After a few years one of them or both could be a bust...Lets go with Bernier and move Reimer to fix other needed areas...
- Flyfreaky

Agreed 100% after all Reimer "is the better more proven goalie" so he should get much more than what we gave up.....

I can tell you that for GM Dean Lombardi and the rest of the Kings' front office, this was a tough pill to swallow. They feel they’re trading away a future star, franchise goalie. But they had to. You can’t keep two star goalies in a cap system, not with the cap going down next season and the Kings needing to re-up Slava Voynov (done) and Rob Scuderi (not done yet) and other RFAs.

And there was a promise to keep. Lombardi, true to his word, told Bernier a year ago that he’d deal him either at the trade deadline or before the draft, a promise he reiterated at the player-exit meetings a few weeks ago, providing he could find a deal that made sense for the Kings.

"I was very happy, Dean is a man of his word," Bernier told ESPN.com Sunday after the trade was announced. "I felt he would keep it and he did. All the teams in the mix were great teams but I have to tell you I’m so happy it’s Toronto. It’s a great organization."

Ya that might work. I'm thinking he may trade one before the season, but they might co-exist for one year. Hopefully Bernier can live with that, he better, he hasn't proven jack yet.
