Now that we know the conditions on the pick traded for Jonathan Bernier, it's possible to look at the Leafs goaltending moves as one combined exchange of assets.
Recently, much was made for a few moments in the doldrums of summer over the news that the conditional draft pick in the Jonathan Bernier trade was not very likely to ever be received by Toronto. It's not impossible, but it's a big long shot.
This led to people exclaiming, with various levels of seriousness and attendant outrage, that Bernier was traded for nothing and obviously the Leafs management is a failure, the rebuild is a failure and Oilerdom looms.
