Nikota - Tags: From The Branches, #chorus, #Import 2023-04-05 11:43 I'm still not sure I buy the rumour that the Brian Burke and the [Toronto Maple Leafs](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/teams/toronto-maple-leafs?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) have made a serious offer for [Jonathan Bernier](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54581/jonathan-bernier?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), but the outcry from us around here at PPP makes it clear that most of us have our eyes set on a larger prize, anyway. If we're going to gamble on an unproven goalie, it might as well be a tandem of [James Reimer](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54304/james-reimer?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) and [Ben Scrivens](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/111745/ben-scrivens?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com). If we're going to trade for [Roberto Luongo](http://www.sbnation.com/nhl/players/54455/roberto-luongo?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com), the price had better come down. The UFA options are, for all intents and purposes, gone, and there's no use signing a marginal NHLer to take the place of one that the Leafs are already paying in Scrivens. We're in the middle of summer, and Brian Burke hasn't figured out a way of solving his goaltending problem, yet. **Leafs Links:** [Report: Leafs make pitch for Jonathan Bernier](http://theleafsnation.com/2012/7/16/report-leafs-make-pitch-for-jonathan-bernier?ref=pensionplanpuppets.com) Cam Charron with his take at The Leafs Nation.
