Waived: [ANA] G James Reimer waived by the Ducks

[Michel Beauchamp]

I forgot he was even still playing.

And his career earnings are a bit north of $33M so far...

 

[Chrispy]

Jerks, the man has a family you know.

Come home to San Jose, James.

Jerks were his family in the past; they can be again.

 

[Unholy]

Was going to happen from the start once Gibson got healthy

 

[seafoam]

Gibson is ready to backup.

 

[1909]

Habs need to replace Primeau.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

Habs need to replace Primeau.

Reimer isn't the guy.

 

[1909]

Reimer isn't the guy.

To back up Montembault until the end of this season…. Why not ?

 

[Pablo El Perro]

To back up Montembault until the end of this season…. Why not ?

He sucks.

 

[1909]

He sucks.

You certainly did not watch Primeau.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

You certainly did not watch Primeau.

I try not to watch the Habs. They suck as well.

 

[karltonian]

oh no anyway

The fall of James Reimer, you love to see it.

The fall of James Reimer, you love to see it.

James Reimer’s net worth / earnings / salary history: Earned US $33,891,585 (US $42,413,552 in today's dollars), ranking #494 in NHL / hockey career earnings.
lol
Nice soft landing for his family, you love to see it

Yeah, 36 year old guy who's played in the NHL for a number of years and made millions is going to the end of his career.

Huge fall and totally unpredictable!

Pretty sure he is good.

How many goalies even stick around for 15 seasons anymore?

 

[Hobnobs]

How many goalies even stick around for 15 seasons anymore?

Several

 

[Djp]

How many goalies even stick around for 15 seasons anymore?

15 contract years or nhl sessons?

 

[Hobnobs]

15 contract years or nhl sessons?

What i think is funny is that even though Reimer has lasted 15 seasons in the NHL his still has less game starts than a guy like Holtby who's been inactive for two years and didn't really earn starts until two years into his career. Hell, Gibson has more starts than Reimer and he's only been in the league for 10 years.

It’s about a role. You find no name baseball players have 15+ yrs or nfl players have 10+ yr career snd you didn’t know them

Yes but it also brings into perspective that 15 seasons doesn't really matter since wear and tear is significantly lower than some of your peers. And that he's stuck around the NHL instead of going to Europe most likely because of family reasons.

He should get credit for managing a career as a backup obviously. Just don't see 15 seasons as very impressive or soemthing to point out. It's like pointing out that Andy Sutton played more seasons in the NHL than Boddy Orr.

 

[toddkaz]

With Andersen hurt I could see Carolina claiming him.

What's his cap hit?

He aint getting past Buffalo

 

[FrozenJagrt]

It's like pointing out that Andy Sutton played more seasons in the NHL than Boddy Orr.

No it's not. It's like pointing out that Andy Sutton had a decently long career as a serviceable defenseman. He did well for himself. Reimer did well for himself.

 

[Nikolajs Sillers]

If Adams don't claim him back then I don't know what's the plan is.
