Reimer vs. Bernier

Oh yeah... there is almost no reason for any of those teams or the Leafs really to make such a swap... was just curious about how high everyone was on Reimer and the guys I listed.
 
See, I still think you're missing the point of the thread Habspatrol. I don't think the point was to say no one would trade Reimer for Bernier. I think it was just to say that here's a goalie who has comparable stats to a 1st round goalie who's considered very good and hasn't been talked about very much at all despite that.

Well that's the point, yes. He's just asking if we would trade for that 1st round goalie. Which is fair.

Not the thread's point, but an interesting question.
 
Not quite sure what is so good about Bernier besides the fact that he was drafted high.

His first season in the NHL was terrible. He played two good games last year. And currently is struggling again this year.

I'm not ready to say bust, but no i would not trade Reimer for Bernier at this point in time.
 
Yeah, it's a fair question.

Not sure Allaire would be thrilled shipping out a 6'3" goalie for another 5'11" guy. Not really a fit under Allaire and doubt LA would be making that deal anyway.

Pretty much.

Basically I know little to nothing about Reimer. I'm just curious about where he ranks among other goalies in his age group. It's in no way an attempt to put him down... in fact, seeing as I know very little about him it's bound to only move him up from where I probably would have had him ranked due to my ignorance.

Yeah things aren't looking great for Bernier these days. Someone could probably have him at a decent price.
 
The biggest thing I like about Reimer is how calm he is when he is positioning himself. Smooth and relaxed in his first NHL games, whereas Gus has so much energy that he is shaky as a result of it.
 
If he was, he absolutely destroyed any of that in later games as his GAA in his first year was over 4.00
 
Bernier seems to have struggled with the backup role, which I don't believe he has had to deal with that much. He was very good for us last season in a fill in role when Quick was out for a stretch and he got night after night starts for awhile. I don't really see Lombardi putting either Quick or Bernier on the market this season, regardless.
 
There's something to be said for that. Most goalies seem to thrive on getting a lot of action. Most of the time a goalie need to either play his way out of a slump and ride out a hot streak.
 
Quick made a couple of really bad puck handling decisions last night, and let the Jackets back in the game. There seems to be somewhat of a fragile mindset in our net at the moment. I'm guessing that Quick will be starting Monday, and then we can see him head to head with Remier. Should be an interesting game.
 
Was just looking back through old posts, and found this 3 year old thread zeke had made when Reimer first arrived on the scene, and was a mere 4 games into his NHL career.

Crazy that all these years later we've literally got "Reimer vs Bernier" taking place in Toronto.
