Bernier 'won't be sour' after arbitration with Leafs

Toronto Maple Leafs goaltender Jonathan Bernier was offered a pay cut in arbitration and heard some things he would rather not in the hearing.

On Sunday, he wound up signing a two-year contract reportedly worth $8.3 million.

"There's obviously things they say that you don't want to hear, but at the same time I think you grow from those experiences," Bernier told the Maple Leafs website. "I won't be sour about it. I know it's part of the business."

The Maple Leafs reportedly offered Bernier the minimum they could, $2.89 million for one year, after he made $3.
