Reading that article, Francis doesn't see Bernier's upside and says Babcock and the whole Leafs organization can't see his upside. Come on. What a joke. This is exactly the kind of situation where you land a goalie. Every goalie has their struggles. Sharks gave up on Kipper. The Flyers gave up on Bobrovsky. The BJs gave up on Mason. The Lightning gave up on Mike Smith. The list goes on and on. Much stranger things have happened than Bernier finding his form. He looked very solid just a year ago and no one wanted Reimer.
It might turn out this year or next, or it might not. But I see no harm in trying if the price is right. I don't see that the Flames have much to lose.
