Depending on which side of the coin you fall on, this will be very good or very bad news for you as a Leafs fan. Despite multiple reports that surfaced late last week suggesting Jonathan Bernier had been offered a 4-year $20 million dollar contract from the Maple Leafs, it now appears that no negotiations have taken place between Bernier and the club. Bernier's agent Pat Brisson spoke to Pro Hockey Talk and made it clear there had been no talks.
“Nothing is going on with Jon Bernier right now. His contract is up this summer. He has another year left before becoming [an unrestricted] free agent in the summer of 2016,” said Brisson. “We’re just going to see how things are going to go here in the next little while. Obviously the trade deadline is this weekend."
Whether this is bad news or good news depends on where you stand on Jonathan Bernier. Many believe he's not currently, and never will be a true number one goaltender in the NHL, but he also has a large contingent of fans that do believe he can be a solid starter with the right team in front of him. What the Leafs decide to do before the trade deadline will likely give us a better indication of whether or not they believe Bernier is part of the future.
