LeBrun: Panthers trying to trade Reimer, might buy him out if no takers

[themelkman]

Sharks sign for league min?

 

[NHL WAR]

Some posters underrating Reimer big here. Ugly season this year, sure, but some of that can be blamed on team in front of him. Look at Luongo's stats this year. In Reimer's 3 previous seasons, he was worth his 3.4 million and more. In that time frame, he was very comparable to big name goalies such as Carey Price ( first name to pop into my head, but actually remarkably similar):

Reimer- 127 games, 57-44-18, 2.61 GAA, .918 SV%, 10 shutouts, 16 Goals Saved Above Average

Price- 123 games, 63-48-12, 2.56 GAA, .915 SV%, 6 shutouts, 7 Goals Saved Above Average

Now, this isn't to say Reimer is a Carey Price level goaltender, but recency bias and unrobotic mechanics aside, he is a decent starting or great tandem netminder. Teams such as Carolina, Ottawa, Columbus and Calgary would be wise to take a chance on him.

Yes please

Do you have a crystal ball where you know how the kids will do in the last two drafts already?

Pick 50 was traded away at a lower return than pick 59. That's what I meant by that.

Reimer's contract was awful the minute the pen hit the paper. I dunno why they gave him a 5 year deal.

Matheson + Reimer for Mete

LOL i wouldn't trade Mete for Matheson alone.

they wanted to it to look so good, they forgot to actually check if it was. im not sure why they signed him for any longer than 3

To Montréal with a 3rd round pick for a 5th round pick?

You sure about that?
Even though Matheson had a horrid year defensively, some of the numbers I see don't back your reply.
I get Mete is younger and played half the games Matheson has, so you're probably accounting for upside but still feel Matheson will be the better all around player.

realy high on Mete, dislike Matheson, the only thing he has on him is size he doesn't use and shot. Mete is and will be a much better all around player. his offensive numbers will soon unlock.

Reimer might be a good fit for the Canes if Florida retains salary.

Fair enough, they both get barely any PP time so feel once Yandle is on his way out, Matheson will get more time there and will become a 30-40pt defenseman. His offensive flare has been on display for a couple years now.

I do like Mete too, have mutual friends who know him pretty well. Both are #3/4 D with room to grow into 2/3's. Time will tell I guess.

His advanced stats were killer and the analytics crew (Rowe) were in charge of free agency.

Ottawa needs to figure out what to do with Anderson and Condon first, but it's a decent idea.

Reimer isn’t good, he’s good in spurts. He’ll come out like an absolute All-Star for a game and a half, then he’ll look like a beer league goalie. He leans way too far forward and tends to go down early. Look forward to him being gone.

Good luck.

Schlemko straight up.

That saves Florida $2.375m in cap this season, and $3.4m next season.
