Nicely done DW.

Hill and Reimer should be a pleasant upgrade over Jones and Dubnyk.

 

[one2gamble]

now we can compare value between Reimer and Jones

 

[Patty Ice]

And DW gets another seal of approval. Excellent term and $$$ for the right guy.

Wow Doug is killin it. The question is will Timo be traded?

 

[Quid Pro Clowe]

Glad this team (and others) now understands that starting your goalie 65 times a year probably isn’t a great idea for longevity.

Same with running backs in football.

hopefully in a package for Eichel. To stop Vegas from getting him if nothing else

Exactly! Funny you say that. As a Raiders fan I was happy they signed an additional back to take pressure off Jacobs.

Round 2. Let's do ittttt.

 

[Painful Quandary]

Reimer was a good fit last time, so I cannot argue with Wilson targeting him. Two years at less than 2.25mil is decent value. My worry is that both are goalies going into next season both look like 1Bs, but I hope I am wrong.

 

[The Nemesis]

I think the expectation is that they're going to give Hill as much run as they can to prove he can step up and be an NHL starter. He's sort of the 1A by expectation/developmental hope and Reimer is the 1B to reinforce that.

 

[Nighthock]

Good decision. Reimer/Hill should be solid.

 

[Alwalys]

The Hard Reimer is back! Take us home Jimmy

 

[fasterthanlight]

Cool. This is roughly the max value/term I think 90% of goalies should get. Happy to have James back.

 

[CanadienShark]

Neat. I liked Reimer his first stint.

Welcome back, Reims. I feel pretty damn good about having Hill and Reimer, I like every move so far.

two 1Bs are better than two has-beens

 

[Painful Quandary]

I agree. Jones/Dubnyk was brutal.

 

[DG93]

Excellent addition. DW is making a lot of good depth moves, so our bottom-6 and goalies look way better already. Problem is we're still lacking top end talent...if they land a guy like Eichel though, then it'll be a lot more legit.

I think I mentioned back on Reimer's last season in teal, that I would rather keep him over Jones. That would have kept DW from making one of his worse contract signings, and the fans from the ugliest performance slide I've ever since for a goaltender in teal.

Look at it this way. Niemi never turned in a season below .900 in teal. I'm not saying how great Niemi was, just how poor Jones became.

It also comes with a limited no trade clause. And since we all know wilsons favorite type of those, it will be a 3 team no trade clause.

If it's similar to Bonino's, it's a five team no-trade list.

Jones had 2 years left and we were already against the cap. Jones was also younger and coming off a SCF run where he was the best player on the team. This revisionist history is dumb as we could not afford Reimer.

Oh he is getting better lol
