Rumblings: Kings surprised by Jonathan Bernier's slump with Maple Leafs
Jonathan Bernier is 0-8-1 this season with a 3.28 goals-against average.When Los Angeles traded away Jonathan Bernier to the Toronto Maple Leafs in the summer of 2013, honoring a promise general manager Dean Lombardi made to the goalie about finding him a new opportunity, the Los Angeles Kings organization was sick over the move.
From Lombardi to goalie coach Bill Ranford, they felt they were dealing away a future No. 1 stud. And of course they had to with star goalie Jonathan Quick in place for years and a cap system that doesn’t allow you to keep two No. 1 goalies for very long. They only grudgingly moved Bernier.
