Bernier's Arbitration Hearing

The hearing is scheduled for this morning. This will be the 7th arbitration case to go to hearing this year - an unusually high number, as most of the arbitration cases in previous years were resolved before it ever got to a hearing. Given the huge difference between Bernier's ask and the Maple Leafs' offer, it's not really a surprise to me that this case is going to a hearing. I'm inclined to side with the Leafs in this one - Bernier's put up decent numbers, but I'm not convinced he's $3 million better than Reimer.
