Why? Why would you even think about that deal? Is Reimer a star player that is going to make a difference to the team long term that would make you want to give up a quality draft pick? Do you believe that there is going to be a bidding war to get Reimer signed? Do you believe that there are going to be a number of teams that are going to be in a rush to sign Reimer? The only reason you give up a pick for a soon to be UFA is if you believe the player in question can make a huge difference to your team, is going to be a core player, and believe that if he hit the open market that you risk losing him in a bidding war. Do you believe that Reimer is the top goaltender available in free agency and is a guy that is going to make the Flames better in the long term? I just don't see James Reimer being an answer to any question for the Calgary Flames, not to the point that would require them to cough up assets to get him.
