I have a feeling that we should claim Bernier. He's free and he can easily replace Dorsett and be our 13th forward

 

I'd rather bring Trevor Linden out of retirement; He'd be more useful at age 46 Than Bernier could ever hope to be.

Both Michalek and Bernier would be better 4th line producers than what we have right now.

 

Not saying it is a good idea; just saying we would get ok production out of them on a 4th line role.  Both are also bigger players, which doesn't hurt.  (Even though it is entirely correct that Bernier doesn't use his size nearly to his advantage.)

Bernier is a player who despite his large frame, refuses to use it.   

He wouldent fit Dorsetts role at all.  

 

I think you confused him with Pyatt.  It's Pyatt that played like the friendly giant.  Bernier was just too slow to be effective.  He tried to lose weight to go quicker, but it made his hits less effective... and the speed increase negligible.

Michalek seems like a good player but at $4 million per year and as a Leafs cast off I hope he enjoys playing on the farm, I wouldn't touch him.

I would!! The guy can score goals and we are still struggling to score goals as expected! If Toronto would retain 50% of his salary, let's go for a trade... give them a 6th rounder!
