They can retain the full amount, and over the lifetime of the contract, it would still save them money compared to what they would have had to pay on a Darling buyout.

And if they can't find a good taker out there, they have a reclamation project for at least a year. If it doesn't pan out, they only need to buy out the last year.

See I dont get why Florida didn't do this in the first place. Reimer at $1.8m isnt the worst option for a backup. Montreal, Columbus or Minnesota could all be fits.

Hell, maybe even back to Floirda with retention? Altho that's probably not allowed

Carolina has 6 picks in the first 3 rounds in the 2020 draft. Could see them dropping one or two of those to get rid of Reimer altogether.

Probably no one was willing to bite. The trade is a worst version of that strategy. Perhaps GMs did not want to help the Panthers, but I doubt it

Montreal host the draft, have some space and need a backup goalie.

Please use the leafs 1st a rolling, the ultimate buyout pick

Reimer + a pick to Ottawa for Craig Anderson

As a Canes fan, I think I would do this

 

[Leafs87]

Really don’t get how this trade helped Florida at all. Higher cap, same term, worse goalie coming back

Saved them a mil or two off the cap for the next couple years. They need all they can get, it made perfect sense.

Cap hit on the buyout is more balanced over the 4 years.
19-20: Darling 1.23M, Reimer 0.958M
20-21: Darling 2.33M, Reimer 3.21M
21-22: Darling 1.18M, Reimer 0.658M
22-23: Darling 1.18M, Reimer 0.658M

20-21 gets an extra $900K against the cap, which could be a big deal when trying to add a couple of big UFA salaries.

If Montreal strikes out on UFAs, it would be smart to do that. Get an overpaid backup for 2 years where you don't need cap space and collect assets along the way. Get Molson to spend that un-used roster money.

2nd + 3rd round pick in 2020 should be enough. However, Carolina needs someone to play in their net as well, and they have the cap space.

Are you actually suggesting the Canes would need to add a 2nd AND a 3rd to dump Reimer???

Why not just keep him as backup? 2 top 90 picks to dump $3.4M in cap for 2 years, when the team could actually use the player, is just silly to suggest.

Yes, I do think moving Reimer contract would cost them something substantial.

Buying out Marleau's contract (3,7 millions in real money I think?) cost the Leafs a late 1st.

A team that wants to buy out Reimer would have to pay 4,9 millions in real money.

Never said they will trade him, if you try to read what I wrote. I know its hard to read until the end.

No need to try and justify silliness. That’s the point of it, it’s just silly.
