The issue with Reimer is two fold:
1. He has trouble staying healthy.
2. He's only a "cusp" starter.
... meaning I wouldn't say he's a backup but to be a regular starter will show his flaws as well. The guy is right on the cusp and has been as long as I've watched him subject here in Leaf land. He can be lights out but other times you want to wrangle him for soft and very untimely goals.
If he's requesting starter money over extended time, let someone else make that mistake.
What worries me is that Burke always stood by Reimer he may have a thing for him...
