What? Why?
Berra in the minors for depth then? Why make that trade in the first place?
I guess they're worried about Luongo's durability and/or his game falling apart over the next few years. Reimer is a good insurance option in net. I still don't like him.

That's a lot of money for a goalie tandem

Reimer's contract will STILL expire before Lou's
This is a wierd signing.
Especially since they just acquired Berra and his $1.4 million
Maybe they are trading Lou?

Must think Luongo's going to start to slow down? Why get Berra?

AAV is decent, but the term is alot longer than I thought it would be.

Why? The numbers surely say he is, at the very least, a solid tandem player. What's not to like?

I just don't like how he craps the bed at times and struggles with confidence.
Realistically, Luongo will be around for awhile, so you're overpaying for a backup, or you're getting a mediocre starter/1A.
The Panthers really need to start drafting and developing some quality goaltending prospects, otherwise it could be a real area of weakness when the rest of the roster peaks.

This should bump Berra to 3rd-string goalie now

The AAV is good on this contract. Doesn't make much sense from the Panther's standpoint. But this is a good contract and much less than I thought he'd get

Reimer is better than Berra and could outperform Luongo too.

Pretty good deal. Would love him on the Flames at that price.

We'll see. Luongo was still an all-star last year.
