There are teams that would love to have Toronto's goaltending duo -- two top-notch, reliable netminders. Lucky us, we have them. Pity for the rest.

At the end of the season, if they can maintain close to those numbers, Nonis is going to look like a genius.Arn said:After tonights game in Edmonton it looks like we have the 3rd and 8th rated goalies in the NHL on Save %
Reimer on .949 and Bernier on .930
That's a solid base.
This is such a excellent problem to have.. Can they award the Vesna to goaltending tandum. LOLZee said:This is the best goaltending tandem I can ever remember on the Leafs. We've had individual great #1 goalies in the past, but I don't remember a time when I was so comfortable with either goalie playing. They're both showing they can be #1 goalies.
Optimus Reimer said:Montreal had Halak and Price a few years ago. Imagine how better that team would have been if they had kept both goalies. All I hope for is the Leafs keep both for as long as possible...having one good goalie is good, but to have 2 is absolutely amazing.

Problem is they're both going to want to get paid eventually and you can't tie up that much money into goaltending.

I don't think that's necessarily the case. Right now I think that most people would be comfortable with a situation where, say, you have a clear cut #1 locked up for 7 million or so provided they're at the top of the league and then another million for a competent back-up. So if most people would be good with tying up 8 million of a 64 million dollar cap in goaltending then as the cap grows down the line you can have 9-10 million in the position at roughly the same percentage.
Is 10 million enough to lock up both players long term? Probably not but it's not crazy.
Zee said:I have to hand it to Reimer, I had my doubts about him going into the season, but in my estimation he's playing the best hockey of his career so far. They've pretty much split the games (Bernier 11 starts, Reimer 9) and the team save % is .940, that's an incredible duo. Hope it can keep up.
