I heard he made a pitch for it, but it was shot down.

Bobrovsky gets 2 years, $5mm per from CBJ
- Jsaquella


Good for him and reasonable for CBJ.

If he keeps up his level of play he's in for a big payday next go-around.

I'm still a little perplexed at the Bernier trade. Not a clear cut upgrade over Reimer, why spend the trade assets?
- BulliesPhan87


Not sure. One rumor is that the Leafs feel Reimer gets dinged up too easy

Skimming through the news feed, it looks like Universal picked it up and they're targeting next summer. I'll tell you what, I struggled to take Jeff Daniels seriously in The Newsroom the first time around, it's going to be way harder after this movie.

They clearly feel he is a significant upgrade over reimer. Remember, teams only need one starting goalie and if he's good, he can be the starter for 10 years.

Any word on when we can expect it? IMDb's got nothing for me.

Daniels, and Carey. Bob Mac tweeted Cam Neely as Seabass will return, and there is a rumor Lucic will play his son.

That's the other thing about goalies, everyone loves Bernier and Schneider, but here's a tidbit:

Bobrovsky has more NHL games and starts under his belt than both Schneider and Bernier. Despite the pedigree they both have, neither has been a full time starter in the NHL.

I'd love to have him back.

He's been wildly inconsistent.

Did he play in a professional league last year? Swedish Elite?

He seems like his spirits are shot as well. He had some really strange quotes yesterday. Something like "Good, now I will be up for three games and buried in the ground for one"

As long as Morin has some wheels, he could work out ok. I think people's worst fears are he is a pylon on the ice and guys will go right around him The consensus is that won't be the case. If he's mobile, that's a start. You can't teach size. He's only 18, plenty of time for him to improve the other aspects of his game.

The fact Button likes him is a good sign. His opinion is pretty well respected.

- PLindbergh31

The other encouraging thing is the rumor that Montreal really wanted him.
I think the Montreal scout has done a really good job selecting future NHL players.

I just don't see it. I mean, I don't think Bernier is destined to bust or anything, but I would've rolled the dice on Reimer rather than trade for Bernier if I were in the driver's seat.

But then, as Jsaq said, there's the 'dinged up' thing. And to be fair, I've never followed the Kings nor the Leafs closely.

Will Bob Mac reprise his role as Evil Bob McKenzie?

I saw Gettysburg after Dumb and Dumber. Holy moly what a different role. Even in The Newsroom, his character has some moments where you go, ok this cat's a bit goofy.

In Gettysburg, Daniels was brilliant as a professor struggling to be a good leader for his troops during the Civil War. Couldn't believe it was the same dude

I think I read that he wants or expects to play overseas for a few years and then come to the NHL.

I forget where, but I heard the movie will pick up right where it left off, with them wandering in the desert.

Good deal for both sides. So much for the $6 mill/yr rumors from before the draft. Can't believe that Mike Smith got 5.75 mill on a longterm contract though. Going to Phoenix does wonders for a goalies career.

That would be great and they've been stuck aging in it the entire time.

No way of knowing if that is true. I think Button is usually pretty spot on. He likes Morin. He knows a lot more about the kid than I do.

The first one was so great. Not sure there is any way to do it justice. If anyone can do it, it's the Farrelly Brothers.

I agree with you. I feel so much of a goaltenders success has to do with the team around him. It's difficult to gain confidence if your team is allowing so many high quality scoring chances.

Acquiring a young goalie with little experience, but a lot of promise is like acquiring a backup QB. Sometimes they become decent like Matt Schaub and other times they become AJ Feeley.

I was just really surprised when it first happened. And didnt do much research until I calmed down. I like his moxy. Something we really miss on the back end, even though Gusty has a bit of it.
