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.

Yeah I literally have no idea what it's going to take to sign him as I imagine his agent will point to his stats and try to link him with goaltenders being paid over $5 million but I simply don't see a market for him at that salary on any sort of long term deal. Four years is the absolute max I would feel comfortable signing him to but at that term I wouldn't want to pay over $4 million/season.

No way. He's almost 30 and short term he could be a good fit but to me he's one of those big guys that excels because of his size and I'm weary of age causing him to slow down and be left with a Hiller type guy that can't stop pucks that don't hit his body.
