Jonathan Bernier agrees to a one-year deal with Colorado for $2.75 million

[Zoller]

Not a bad deal to be honest.

[Strange Brew]

That's a lot for a backup.

Backup goalies gettin paid today.

He may very well take the starter job from Varlamov. Varlamov had injury issues last season but when he was playing, he wasn't very good.

This worries me. Commodore predicted this signing like 15 hours ago.


His immediate tweet after Bernier to Colorado was Iginla to Edmonton. Damn it.

Bernier is probably more of a 1B than a backup.

great deal for a guy who was pretty close to starter territory last year. Good insurance policy on Varlamov.

that's the thing... he's been close to starter territory for years but doesn't seem able to make the trip

Trust me I don't think any goaltender would want to play with Colorado next season. Jonathan Bernier fortunately is desperate to play somewhere where he can potentially be a starter so I guess it is a nice fit.

Not so sure what is going on with Colorado. They had MacKinnon, Duchesne, Landeskorg(sic), Stastny, O'Reilly back then and they still suck. Now both Stastny and O'Reilly are gone and they are in verge of losing Duchesne and maybe their captain, it looks like they will be at the bottom again fighting for the lottery pick after next season. I love Joe Sakic as a player but he sucks managing this team. Reminds me of the Oilers when Kevin Lowe was managing. Maybe he was copying Kevin Lowe's blueprint of success.
