James Reimer, Jonathan Bernier, and the difficulty of evaluating goalies
John E. Sokolowski-USA TODAY SportsThere's been a lot of discussion about the goaltending situation for the Toronto Maple Leafs ever since Dave Nonis trade for Jonathan Bernier in June 2013. Some people, like me, thought that Reimer was good enough to be the Leafs' starting goalie, and that the trade was therefore unnecessary. Others lacked faith in Reimer and saw Bernier as a potential all-star starter. Some fans felt their time was better spent arguing about unrelated topics, like whether they'd rather fight one horse-sized duck or 100 duck-sized horses.
