Reimer has decent stats, but that isn't really the issue with people who don't like him (like me). I really don't like Reimer because he has these seemingly huge 'breakdowns' and allows easy shots he should stop get by him. Is he better than Ramo? If he is, I think it is negligible - assuming one thinks that Ramo at the start of the season was not himself, and that the season before that and the rest of the season after his call-up was 'Ramo'.
I wouldn't hate the idea of giving Reimer a chance - I think like Ramo, he shows some very good moments and even sets of games. I just hope the term is at least 2 years or less. Would that entice Reimer? Maybe. How many other teams are trying to plug a hole in the starter's position? I would think that the Flames could (and should) be attractive to all goalies who are looking for a starter's job.
