Yeah, I don't get the Florida inclusion here. I'd replace them with Toronto (agree or not) with the first 3 you noted here ONE.
But I have no idea where exactly he will end up. I still think NJ is interesting but not sure they can afford to make the move for him. Tack on the existing financial peril, I'd sooner he not end up there.

I agree with you here ONE. The New York (I wish they'd change their name to Brooklyn) Islanders are probably the best fit for him. A couple years ago that statement would have made me cringe as an owner...but they are looking better and better each year and may be a nice little addition to finally solidify long term what has plagued NYI for so long.
As long as Snow lands a D or 2. (or replace Snow all together...bring in someone who's less of a loss cannon).
Snow is a bit frugal and has yet to commit to the future of the position... Nabokov, Thomas.... He needs to nail it down. Just read that Nino is thinking of signing across seas. If there is any truth to this, Snow may as well deal him before he loses him and gets nothing. It would only make sense to give Nino his chance elsewhere if it won't be in NYai and also solidify a problem spot for an up and coming team for years to come.

Nino better than Read... no. Well, at least not right NOW. He definitely has a higher ceiling and that may be more appealing in a deal for a guy like Bernier who has a high ceiling.
The Kings need wingers, badly. The name I keep seeimg floating around for Toronto is Frattin. Both he and Read look the part. I don't know if they alone get it done for Bernier. I'm not saying either would be a bad deal as much as it may be a case of LA having no pressure to move him.

No details, but this link suggests that Tor is creating distance from other teams for Bernier's services:

I know a lot of Leaf fans have love for Reimer but as someone whom watched him play everyday he is horrible. His rebound control is atrocious, his positioning is absurd and his glove hand is worse then Crawfords. His number this year were a fluke and it impossible for him to sustain them over a full year. Nonis see's this very well and that is why he has done everything in his power to obtain a goalie since he took over for Burke.

Just to let you know Timmy P isnt really a reliable source. He is very lazy in his reporting and either rehashes whats already out there or makes up his own stuff. He is a philly beat writer but seen as a joke by fans and the organization.
Pronger would consistently make fun of him during interviews.
Not saying it isnt true but i would need more than TimmyP's word on it to believe it.

I seen both of those the other day and the Couturier + made me LOL literally! Voracek straight up does not seem out of line to me though.
I'm going to put this down right here. Berniers mechanics are super, he will be one of the top 10 goalies in the game once he is given the chance to start somewhere.

If the Kings acquired Voracek for Bernier, wow, that would be a nice return.. Voracek is on his way up, he is going to get some major points in this league..
Zorro says "vote for Dobber"
Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
I tend to expect prices for Bernier to be set by previous trades. Bishop for Conacher. Halak for Eller. In both case a forward with decent upside but hardly an established preformer. Frattin fits in that mold. Nino too. Read isn't far off. Voracek seems a bit too much.
