Why would he? But where do you get that he doesn't?

He said he didn't want to.

He requested a trade, which kind of implies he doesn't want to be a backup, but I think the guy also wants a job and a chance to prove himself and he's not going to get that holding out.

Brodeur? Lol
- KovyFan27

Brodeur was better than Reimer 6 years ago, but considering he has only gotten between .901 and .907 Sv% the last 4 years, clearly not anymore. Reimer btw had .911 in an off year,

He was paid 2.2 in real dollars 3 seasons ago
This is a good signing

I do t get how people think he didn't deserve this deal. Bernier got similar with a lot less on his resume.

Weirdness of the biz; Reimer's inability to fill for injured Bernier costs 3 coaches, 2 execs their jobs. And he gets $4.6 million.

What a knob.

Why would he want to be a backup? Him not wanting to be backup is a good thing.

Also the same money as scrivens. seems like a fair price for Reimer.

Real dollars mean crap in a cap world though the biggest thing is the cap hit.

If you are not enamoured by Reimer that's ok - this is a good signing
Attractive cap hit and term for a trading partner - perhaps wpg or even buffalo
He did lead the leafs to the playoffs

I thought they were already trying to trade him though?

@mirtle: Yes some in Leafs org blame Reimer for what happened at end of year. Which is part of why they deserved to go.

This is nonis - he has to execute the trade - pull the trigger so to speak

Trade request less to do with being backup.

GM Dave Nonis: "If there was any lingering doubt (about a Reimer beef with Carlyle and Leafs) he'd have asked for one year. He wanted two".

They only thing that confuses me is they gave him a 500 000 raise. Whether you like him or not he did not deserve a raise after last season.

Well if he wants to stay I hope he has a good year.

Use him correctly and I like it. Good insurance plan.
