Mike Augello: Report: Leafs Step Up Offer For Bernier

FIRST

Any word what it's going to cost us Mike ?

Ashton + pick

Ashton + pick

that might not bother me all that much.

This shows that Florida has serious confidence issues with Markstrom. Both Bernier and Markstrom can't be here at the same time.. Very interesting. Maybe we get Bernier for whatever, and we then trade Markstrom to whomever is interested for a decent forward or a prospect..

As long as the pick is a 2nd...

You can offer sheet Bernier and it would only cost the team a 2nd...so Nonis better not be offering up the 1st + ANYTHING.
Could this turn into a bigger deal where the Leafs get Kopitar, Richards or Carter along with Bernier?

This.

Even if we blow our 1st and some mid-level prospect i'm alright with it.
Bernier is better than Reimer. Reimer is a good goalie but he's a 15-20 Goalie at best. Bernier has more up-side.

Plus even if we acquire Bernier and Reimer turns out to be a superstar, then we have two amazing goalies that are 24-25. which is a good problem to have.

I thought Markstrom was the best goalie prospect not in the NHL...what happened with that? And no, I'm not being sarcastic...I'm dead serious...has he lost a step?

Scrivens or Reimer + 2nd/3rd Round Pick?

from Mikes blog - The price for Bernier would likely include the Leafs first round pick(21st overall in the upcoming draft and a prospect

What I love about this is that its a rumour....translated: it's not going to happen.

Agreed, I wouldn't mind seeing this turn into a bigger deal but if the 1st is involved I would be pretty ticked.

did someone just use 49 lols?

He's a Sabres fan...although he looks like a pissed off Liev Schreiber in his profile pic

yeah i dont like that.

Scrivens or Reimer + 2nd/3rd Round Pick?
- Orpik44

Hmmmmm, problem with that scenerio is LA doesn't have a 1st round pick to trade with bernier for reimer +2nd.......but sure, scrivens +2nd for Bernier would work.

yeah i dont like that.
- Dozzer

Me neither. I think we would all agree with that.

Ugh. Why? They better not cough up the farm or any part of the pasture.
