Well, fans have been clamoring for more unproven young goaltending.
If it was something like Scriven's + mid-round pick for Bernier, yeah, sure I'd take a younger higher touted prospect to battle it out against Reimer, but I just can't see the guy being traded for that.
FWIW...
No word yet as to what the #Leafs initial offer for Bernier is but source advised me it contains a roster player and TO's 2nd rd 2013 pick.
Lombardi + 2nd. Sure. It frees up a roster spot for Kadri + cap savings.
Connolly + 2nd. Sure. It frees up a roster spot for Kadri + cap savings.
MacArthur + 2nd. Stupid.
Kulemin + 2nd. Very stupid.
Franson + 2nd. Not going to lose sleep over it, but it would be a case of Burke barking and then not delivering on getting the team a much needed stabilizing presence.
There is nothing wrong with adding a young goalie who was a 1st round pick but let's not forget that he has a .910 SV% playing for a defensive club. It's going to be a rude awakening for him coming to play in front of the mess that is the Leafs.
