Bernier had a serious case of the Toskalas last year...here's hoping he found a strong antibiotic

Sparks


its the 2010 - 2011 Guelph Storm all over again

I like the "Show Me" attitude. Nonis gave Bernier a big contract when he had proven less than Reimer.

Bernier is two years away from qualifying for unrestricted free agency

are you sure about this?

Bernier will be 27 this August, and my understanding was that makes him UFA next summer.

10.1 Unrestricted Free Agents.
(a) Group 3 Players and Free Agents.
(i) Any Player who either has seven (7) Accrued Seasons or is 27 years of age
or older as of June 30 of the end of a League Year, shall, if his most recent
SPC has expired, with such expiry occurring either as of June 30 of such
League Year or June 30 of any prior League Year, become an Unrestricted
Free Agent.

For what it's worth:

Had dinner on the weekend with a WBS Penguin player who was on the roster last season - he is of the opinion that Harrington will have a long "top-4" d-man NHL career and provide a ton of leadership - not to be pigeon-holed into a purely shutdown d-man either...has some good puck skills and can contribute effectively on special teams.

While he had limited time with Kapanen, he says his skill level is off the charts and with at least 1, likely 2 full AHL seasons under his belt he'll be a legit top-6 sniper at the NHL level. Fast, works hard and is strong...by that timeline he'll be 20 in his first season as a Leaf if they are patient.

$2.9M per bridge for 2 yrs for your starting goaltender is not a big contract.

TRADE KAPANEN AND HARRINGTON!!!!!!!!!!

Bernier does not have two years of RFA eligibility left, this is his final season. If he's signed to a one-year, he's UFA next summer.

Frankly if it was otherwise he'd already have been signed to a one-year ala Kadri.
