They could also sign Reimer for 2.5 to 3 per year for 2 years. If upgrade is needed, they can go after Bishop (or other goalies) in January when his trade value would likely be less. Flames can then get an extension agreed upon and trade for him. They can then protect Bishop and expose Reimer in the Expansion Draft. If Reimer get picked up in the Draft, then the Flames win out as they can only lose one player to Vegas as per rules.
