I would be shocked to see Reimer signed for more than 4 million on UFA day if the Flames fail to get a goalie. Probably more likely in the 3.33 to 3.5 range.
If he signs as a backup somewhere he's more likely to get in the neighbourhood of 2.5 million because teams don't typically have the budget for that much for a backup.
It'll be fine.

They player may think so and I agree, but we're talking about money shark agents milking every single penny they can to make the most out of their 20%.
