Interesting.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Have to think they are retaining salary.

 

[Empoleon8771]

So is Reimer-Forsberg going to be the Canes tandem next year? Yikes. Maybe they just don't sign Forsberg and sign someone in free agency?

 

[Kamiccolo]

Ugh... Why? He is not the solution.

 

[Evgeny Oliker]

I’m hoping for Reider - Nedj

 

[RainingRats]

This is great news for Florida. Almost guarantees at least Bob.

I'm scared what we gave up to get them to take the dumpster fire

 

[Laus723]

Woohoo!! Laters Reimer. Good dude, hated him in the crease.

ughhhh

 

[Langdon Alger]

Ugh... Why? He is not the solution.

Might be an ok backup.

Great guy as you said though. I hope he does well in Carolina.

 

[Ezekial]

Why is this?

 

[ucanthanzalthetruth]

This is great it means Bob is coming and we made the Canes worse

For anyone curious about the buyout vs what the Reimer buyout would have been:

Darling: $1.23 million, $2.23 million, $1.183 million and $1.183 million
Reimer: $958k, $3.208 million, $658k and $658k

I would have just bought out Reimer instead of trading for Darling to buy him out.

... or Lehner.

 

[UnleashRasmus]

Well getting rid of Darling saves them a buyout. Reimer has one or two more years? I'm not sure I hate or like this deal.

 

[Cardiac Jerks]

So we’re rid of Darling and have 3 backup goalies.

Should be a fun year!

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

Isn't Darling's buyout more expensive than Reimer's? Why not just buy out Reimer?

They save money in that second year. Or lower cap hit I should say.

Bobrovsky welcome to Sunrise

He posted a picture on instagram too, doing a handstand. Maybe hinting at South Florida?

But yeah, Carolina basically got rid of Darling's contract with this. Reimer might end up just being the backup.
