Yeah, that was based on my personal opinion, not on any hearsay or anything or insider information.

I think Bernier is better then an unproven goaltender. He was highly thought of in his draft class (being a 1st rounder), and since being in the NHL he has put up more then respectable numbers. 27-19-0 with a 2.41 GAA and 0.912 save percentage. With LA losing key defenseman this year, he has looked better in net then Quick has. Bernier is only 24 years old and IMO he is the real deal. I think it would be a good deal for Calgary.
