Reimer inked a one-year, $1 million contract with Buffalo on Tuesday.
Scouting Report
He has never proven that he can be a 60-game starter in the NHL. Instead, he has shown he can carry a team for short stretches as part of a 1A/1B system. Is big and strong, solid technically and has changed his stance in the crease to improve his balance, enabling him to cover more net while giving shooters less space. Has also improved his physical conditioning over time.
Long Range Potential: Competent veteran goaltender.
