Matheson + Reimer for Mete

Matheson + Reimer for Mete

I would certainly do that as Montreal. Not sure why Florida would.

Clearing cap space is great, but losing your top LHD (with Yandle) while doing it is kind of stupid.

 

[Curufinwe]

Schlemko for Reimer.

 

[DJB]

Crickets for Reimer

I wonder if a Reimer for Zaitsev swap makes sense for the two teams. Toronto gets a backup they're familiar with and Florida buys low on a RHD that can be sheltered behind Ekblad.

LOL please stop

Reimer and a 4th for a 7th?

Clears out space for Panarin & Bobrovski & gives them a younger future #2 in Mete

Reimer + 13OA for 16OA? The Avs can afford to bury him in the AHL.

Florida is trying to shed salary, not add 4.5 for six more years. Oh and for a player who would be on their bottom pairing. Florida will trade him with an asset to shed his salary or buy him out.

That's a pretty big overpayment by Florida to clear 2.4m of cap for 2 seasons

Florida wants to clear space, not gain any.

Toronto is in no position to have a 3,4 millions backup for the next 2 years.

Bad bad bad for everyone involved.

Reimer + Pysyk for Zaitsev and Brown

Neal for Reimer

It's 3,4 millions of cap hit.

Would save them 4,8 millons in real money vs a buyout. Some people could think that amount of money is worth dropping 3 spots in the mid-first round, especially owners of a team that is losing money.

Matheson + Reimer for Mete

Please no

The only way Reimer makes any sensw for Toronto is if he's bouggt out an even then I'd be hesitant, I mean he's a major upgrade on Sparks but he's a wimp ge gets hyrt if you breath on him.

Leafs aren't going to take that when they could easily get a legitimate return.

 

[Slashers98]

Matheson + Reimer for a 3rd round pick. Reimer's salary retained at 50%.

 

[danielpalfredsson]

He will get bought out.

The buyout cap hit isn't too bad. 900k this year, 600k in years 3+4.

It's year 2 where the big cap hit of 3M + comes, and there might be a lockout anyways.

I can't see him being taken by another team in a trade, but he'd be a good FA pickup. Coming off a down year, but he might be a solid #2 at a low cap hit for someone.

 

[Kranix]

This doesn't bode well for Reimer's chances of staying with Florida.

 

[PullHard]

Bernier @ 50% retention ($1.5M) for Reimer + sweetener

 

[Trap Jesus]

Lol just let the Panthers sign Panarin and Bob already. No use waiting til the 1st, we all know it's happening.

 

[Langdon Alger]

Is Florida willing to retain on Reimer? Might be easier to find a taker that way.
