Good point. You're right in that we haven't seen enough of Bernier to start picking at his faults. We will though...it's what we do.

I've been thinking about changing my Avatar to a Pokemon. Just have to pick. Not easy. A lot of doozies.
I bought a gamyboy advanced from my buddy and have been playing Pokemon red like the true loser I am

He's on the Leafs because management like many fans dont have faith that Reimer could be a goaltender who takes this team to the next level..

Reimer played well last season but u need better than "well" if u want to be a cup contender..If u wanna win in this league u need ya goaltender to be one of the best if not the best player on ya team..Reimer has to many holes in his game to be that guy imo..

Reimer posted one of the strongest seasons by any Leafs goaltender in recent history.

It was a shortened season, but then again, I could also cite the fact that he has the all-time franchise record for career save percentage. Two of his three seasons were played under Wilson.

They brought in Bernier as an insurance policy against Reimer's injury history. At this point in time, Reimer has proven more in worse circumstances.

None of this really matters, of course, because Carlyle will go with who's playing best this year. Reimer isn't going down without a fight.

Very expensive insurance policy....If thats the case they massively over payed for a backup goaltender...

They paid for a 1B with upside. Potential. They didn't expect to be bringing in an anointed #1 starter.

They believe that however this shakes out, they gained a good asset at a fair price. They can always recover what they paid.

Of course they hope Bernier lives up to the hype. It's always a good problem to have too much talent. But if they wanted a sure-fire starter, they would have looked elsewhere.

Plus, don't discount Leiweke's meddling in this. He was clearly the driving force in the decision.

Yup. That'll do it.

Basically the bat single for him.


But instead of a bat, it's a shadow of Bozak with a masssssive wiener. (HH's idea)

They could have gottin a FA backup for the same coin and not given up the assets..
Hell Scrivens was good enough to be a back up..

They went out looking for a #1 and that what they got...
