Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate said:The Grabbo and Clarkson moves had RC's fingerprints all over them. Even if he singlehandedly convinced Nonis to go out and get Bernier (and he may have had some influence, considering how things have gone between Reimer and him) that wouldn't compensate.
But sure, I agree that it's unlikely that Nonis will get fired.
The talk of the Leafs going after Bernier dates back to when Burke was still GM, so, my guess is that was more of wanting to see some long-term work completed more than Carlyle's influence. Carlyle wanting some more help in net just kind of added that extra layer of motivation.
