The Toronto Maple Leafs acquired goaltender Jonathan Bernier from the Los Angeles Kings on Sunday in exchange for forward Matt Frattin, goaltender Ben Scrivens and Toronto's second round pick in either the 2014 or 2015 NHL Draft.
Bernier, who is eligible to become a restricted free agent on July 5, played in 14 regular season games for the Kings in 2012-13. He posted a record of nine wins, three losses, and a shootout loss while posting one shutout and a goals against average (GAA) of 1.88 and a save percentage of .922. His GAA was the second-lowest mark among all NHL goaltenders. The 24-year-old was 9-0-0 in his first 10 starts in 2012-13 and posted a 1.50 GAA and .938 save percentage during that streak from February 11 to April 4.
During the NHL lockout, Bernier played in 13 games for Heilbronner Falken in Germany and he was also a member of Team Canada's 2012 Spengler Cup championship team. He was originally selected by Los Angeles in the first round, 11th overall, in the 2006 Entry Draft.
Bernier was the Los Angeles Kings' nominee for the 2013 Masterton Trophy for displaying the qualities of perseverance, sportsmanship and dedication to hockey.
Frattin collected seven goals and six assists in 25 regular season games for the Maple Leafs in 2012-13. The 25-year-old registered two assists in six games against the Bruins in the first round of the 2013 Playoffs. The 25-year-old was selected by the Maple Leafs in the fourth round in 2007 and has 15 goals and 28 points in 82 career games, all with the Maple Leafs.
The 26-year-old Scrivens played 20 games for the Maple Leafs this past season and compiled a record of seven wins and nine losses with two shutouts. In his two years in Toronto, the 26-year-old has an 11-14-2 record with a .910 save percentage and 2.86 goals-against average. Scrivens went undrafted and signed with Toronto after playing four seasons at Cornell University.

We have Reimer already. Those assets could have gone elsewhere.

 

[The Guid]

Those assets prob would not have filled your true needs, but, yeah, this doesn't make much sense right now.

 

[Phil The Thrill]

What will we do without Scrivneza though?
 
All kidding aside, I'm actually starting to like the idea of a 1A/B system. I'm not sure if Reimer could handle 60 games, so I feel with a 50/50 split, the team would be better off.

It's always good to have two goalies that you can rely on.

Oops, my bad. Couldn't tell by the title. Thought it was just a rant. Will combine.

I didn't expect Bernier to come to Toronto, I thought he would go to Philly. This is a really good trade though, an improvement over Scrivens.
