I have said it before, Bernier can go and soon. Reimer can pair up with Gibson/Bibeau next year. Bernier is not our goalie going forward, plain and simple.

And Reimer has proven he's that guy. I see.
Highlander said:Yep whats the point of having players on the squad that will not be there in 5 years, get ever pick we can for this very strong draft year and bring in 10 or 12 picks and perhaps with some real luck you end with 4 or 5 guys who can be NHL quality players in 2-4 years. Keep Kadri, JVR, Holland, Komorov, Gardner, Rielly and Kessel (yes Phil is on my team) and get rid of the rest, build around this core.

I strongly disagree. He was considered untouchable a couple weeks ago. This is really more a matter of keeping their options open more than anything else. They're willing to move him, but they're still looking to keep him around. Otherwise, they would be shopping him rather than simply being willing to listen. I mean, really, the truth is, right now, they listening on everyone on the NHL roster not named Morgan Rielly, but they're not looking to move everyone.
Highlander said:If we could go to the Sharks and get a 2nd and Jack Campbell for Bernier I would do it in a second. Campbell was the U.S. Under 18 goalie and showed great potential, I just don't think the Sharks can wait for him to develop and need someone quickly.
Sorry but Bernier just stated he has to learn to be mentally tougher. At 26 this is not a good admission.

Jack Campbell is was draft by the Stars.

Even if Gibson or Bibeau had NHL potential, why would you want them playing behind a rebuilding team at such a young age? That just seems like a terrible idea.

I'm sure there would be some UFAs that could fill the gap ..
If they can get a good return on Bernier, I think they should take it

What's a good return though?
A 1st straight up? a 1st and a prospect?

In this current trade market, I'd guess a 1st plus (another pick or prospect - not another 1st rndr/top prospect - maybe 2/3rd)
