Bolland: 14pts in 35 games
Frattin: 13pts in 25 games

MacArthur: 20pts in 40 games
Clarkson: 24 pts in 48 games

As for Bernier, jury is still out since he used to play on a great defensive team and never played more than 25 games in a season.

Much improved indeed.

Still can't believe Clarkson got $5,250,000 until 2020

Please idiot

"Your agent has yet to speak to an NHL executive or scout who does not think Bernier has the goods to become a star.

The interesting thing about the Leafs goaltending situation is the fans have not rushed to embrace Bernier with their usual early enthusiasm.

Part of this must be the wariness bred from other would-be saviours over the years, from Andrew Raycroft to Vesa Toskala. The other part is affection for the incumbent, James Reimer, who won a lot of hearts by coming out of nowhere two years ago to grab the No. 1 job and then fought his way back from a concussion to grab it again last season.

Hence all of the talk about a “goaltending controversy.” Well, this is not going to be much of a controversy because barring injury, Bernier, 25, will have the top job nailed down by the end of October.

Bernier went 9-3-1 in 14 games last season with the Los Angeles Kings, with a .922 save percentage and 1.88 goals-against average. He bailed out the Kings when Jonathan Quick struggled at the start of the season and should have kept the No. 1 job.

There are those in the hockey world who say Los Angeles GM Dean Lombardi might have been tempted to trade Quick, who won the Kings the 2012 Stanley Cup, instead of Bernier. But since Quick is an American it would have been a foolhardy move with Southern California hockey fans.

The betting here is come June, Nonis’s trade for Bernier will be ranked among the top one or two NHL off-season moves for 2013-14."

it was a bit reckless. the Bolland trade was among the dumbest moves made this offseason. that said, i think the Bernier move might have been the best.

It is very possible that Bernier turns into a great goalie.

It is also possible that the goalies' numbers in LA are great because of the way they play in front of said goalies.

could be. Leafs defence is pretty awful so he'll certainly be tested.

If they open the season in Montreal, they will start Bernier. If it is TO, it will be Reimer.

Might, but I don't like it at all.

TB getting Bishop and ruining Lindback's confidence, I don't get it.
Same with Reimer.
If you want a solid duo, get a veteran.
Pittsburgh got it right by getting Vokoun.
