Yeah, he can be a legit #1, he just hasn't been given regular starts in a long time, he had a slow start last season, but came through in the second half with the rest of the team. He's played for Team Canada and has a good idea of what the pressure would be like. I would probably compare him closest to Nabokov when he was in his prime in San Jose. Very solid hybrid goaltender, who is very technical and relies on his superior positioning over athletic ability, though he can perform athletic feats all the same, just not on the same level that Quick can. I would say Bernier has a better hockey sense though.
