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.

If you want to continue to ignore my post, go right ahead.
For the
third time, we'd get Reimer for a CONDITIONAL third-rounder. CONDITIONAL! If Reim leaves, we'd either be giving up a seventh, or nothing!
