Toronto Maple Leafs General Manager, Lou Lamoriello, on Jonathan Bernier’s new contract

Lance Hornby: On Friday, it looked like it would be down to an arbitrator’s decision. You made a deal before that came through. Can you take us through what happened?

Lou Lamoriello: First of all, in my opinion, the organization made the right decision with going to arbitration, so that – with the whole new coaching staff — there was no questions of who would be in training camp. Sometimes, even thought you give a qualifying offer and you have rights, it lingers on. Right now, everything is stable. As far as the arbitration, it has been a while since I’ve been to arbitration.
