Leafs GM Dave Nonis appeared on TSN Drive with Dave Naylor this afternoon to talk a little puck.
On Bernier:
Nonis on TSN - We were looking at other goalies, but in terms of long term options, Bernier was the guy.

Other highlights:
Nonis cont'd - down the middle is where championship teams are built. we are comfortable with the young defense we have coming.

Nonis - #1 center would have to be acquired through a trade. Would involve a bit of luck. They aren't moved often.

Nonis cont'd - We'd like to keep Tyler Bozak. Has to fit within falling cap situation.
