GDT: Leafs @ Rangers

Great response by the team after the Bernier stinker.

Last year, they would've folded their tents, more often than not.
 
If they want to unload Bernier, they should be able to. He's got a high salary and cap hit, but they front-loaded the shit out of his contract. After July 1st, 2016, he'll only be owed $2.15M in actual dollars for the remainig year of his contract, while carrying a $4.15M cap hit.

So, I'd imagine they'd be able to get a cap-floor team to maybe cough up a second or third round pick to take a flier on him. Arizona would be an ideal target. They see if he can maybe push the equally awful Mike Smith, and their owner loses two million fewer dollars on the season thanks to his inflated cap hit.
 
You may be able to trade him, but there's no way you get a decent pick for him. The goalie market at the best of times is cold, and frankly, he's a dead-weight right now.
 
Surprising stat of the day:

Dion Phaneuf is currently on pace for 50 points, and Lupul's on pace for 30 goals.
 
Did I really just a commercial about young guns in Vancouver and Winnipeg and not see Ehlers mentioned, but McCann and Virtanen were?
 
Shite. Horrible rebound by Bernier on a soft shot, and Rielly completely missed his man there.
 
It's November 15th, and he's played eight games.

...and the Leafs had yet to earn a single point with Bernier in net.
