People are short sighted if they can't see Bernier's upside.
He has had .912 and .922 save percentages over full NHL seasons (50+ games).
Sure his mental game is off right now but if you can get them to keep some of the cap, or take a bad contract in return, then it is worth it.
With only 1 year after this one on that contract it doesn't hurt you too much long term if he doesn't find his past forum but if he does find his form you get a serviceable goalie for nothing.
