Mike Augello: Bernier Gets Start In Calgary; Leafs Vs Flames

FIST!

Also, this has to mean Reimer for Hongcouver... hard to believe he didn't get the call after two stellar performances...

Snnnniiiiiiffffff mmmmmm got that new blog smell.

So If guys like Franson are at near a PPG(and up there in hits too), and Reilly and Gardiner are coming around, why do we need to spend 7m per on Dion?

Why not just use that cap space to keep Reimer and Bernier for the medium-long term.

I would think so...

After saturday in VAN they don't play until friday, so just get the points and earn a nice break.

7 for 7 for Dion, not sure I like it

Because as Dion ages, he'll start to be more of a defensive d-man and the exact type we're harping on the Leafs to acquire now.

5.75 for 8 still works out to the same money roughly.

I don't mind the term that much he ll only be 36 by then, not like he going to be 40+

That's the goalie's job. A healthy Gunnarsson's kept Dion from poopting the bed.

29th in shots against per game. Only team below us is Ottawa.
Hope our goalies don't forget to thank Dion after each game.

Dion has been playing great for us this year. I'm thinking he may not be the problem.

Do you think Phanuef has anything to do with keeping opposing teams' best players away from the net? Limiting scoring chances rather than just shots?

You got a point, also, I will say hes pretty durable as a player, minus the odd freak injury he seems to stay healthy

or 6 @ 4.5mil with a 2mil signing bonus for each year of the deal.

almost the same cap hit.
