I've seen this sort of post regarding Reimer having no leverage a lot, but it goes both ways. Reimer's agent will tell either of those 2 GM's that if they want to go the route of UFA and not pay out any assets ,that he is the only UFA on the list worth considering as a starter. He would not be wrong. There is no other goalie on the UFA list that i can see being a 1a goalie ( that's if you even can count Reimer as a 1a goalie).
I don't think Reimer will get $6 million. I do think his agent will be able to get him $5 million + on a 2/3 year deal if either of those teams mentioned are looking for a goalie come July 1st.
