Biron + Reimer/Scrivens to me gives you room for the kids to grow but a veteran who has been around long enough to deal with tough times, but is also a guy who probably can live with being the #2 if Reimer regains his form or Scrivens comes in and continues on with his dominant play.
I think my issue with the idea of adding Biron is that I'm not entirely sure that a goaltending tandem of Biron/Reimer or Biron/Scrivens is much more likely to make the playoffs than Reimer/Scrivens would be. In both cases I think the determining factor in whether or not the team makes the playoffs is whether Reimer or Scrivens emerges as a #1. If both guys struggle and Biron is the #1 goalie I'd still say the Leafs are a longshot to make the playoffs.
Making the playoffs next year may save Burke's job but, long run, I think the team is better off with a disastrous Scrivens/Reimer tandem than a season where Biron helps them scratch out a few points and they draft 8-14.
That's a valid point. It may push Burke more in Luongo's direction.
