Reimer played great in the first half of the season, then was kind of screwed over by Carlyle when he played Bernier for a solid two months I think. Then Bernier got hurt and Reimer didn't play that great (I think he had around .900 SV%), but the team completely sucked in front of him.
The year before in the playoffs against Boston he basically won them a few games and then crapped the bed with the rest of the team.
He deserves the money. What had Bernier proved before signing his deal with the Leafs? If and when he gets traded I think he will put up solid numbers and be a #1 guy.
