Opinions on Bernier and his future in Detroit. Is Howard on his way out? Will Bernier inherit the net?

I wouldn't be surprised if Howard stays...but regardless even if he left they would bring someone else in to share the net

I agree i think they really want to resign Howard and Bernier really hasn't did alot of good things in Detroit

Depends, are we talking about Kenny Holland still in Detroit or Steve Yzerman returning to town?

I think if Holland stays they probably keep Howard / Bernier...
I think if Yzerrman comes, ,I could sees some razzle dazzle dealing...
But that's just wild speculation..

I think Bernier gets his fair share of the gig but can't see Howard coming back unless its a really cheap short-term deal.

Bernier is a bit like Halak - smaller goalie who is better suited in a timeshare situation. He hasn't done anything to earn a #1 gig. If Howard goes the Wings will likely bring in someone else to compete with him.

Apparently Howard is about to sign a one-year extension.

Yes. So looks like the Wings will look much the same in nets next year.
