Reported by several sources, the Toronto Maple Leafs have dealt goaltender Jonathan Bernier to the Anaheim Ducks for a conditional 2017 draft pick.
The Maple Leafs and Ducks both announced the trade on their respective websites. The 27-year-old netminder was the odd man out once the Leafs acquired Frederik Andersen from the Ducks in June due to his cap hit. In Toronto last season, Bernier recorded 12 wins and posted a .908 save percentage. Helene Elliott tweets that the cap hit for Bernier is $4.1MM, while $2.1MM is the base salary due to signing bonuses that were paid by the Leafs last Friday.
CapFriendly reports that the Leafs now have just over $5.2MM in cap space after dealing Bernier. The Ducks have $9.1MM of cap space after adding Bernier.
Now in Anaheim, Bernier is reunited with former coach Randy Carlyle and will presumably back up John Gibson.
