The positive thing is that maybe it won't cost that much term for Reimer.
I find it unlikely that Toronto looks at bringing him back, and outside of that there isn't really a team looking for a goalie outside of maybe Carolina.
If Reimer wants to be a starter on a team that has a playoff chance then Calgary is his best bet, and it likely won't take 5 years of term to get him here.
If Reimer gets something like 3 years and 14 million total then it wouldn't be a bad move. The only real risk to Reimer will be if the Sharks decide they have the cap space to afford a tandem of Reimer and Jones.
