Just the ultimate professional. He played well for Detroit last year BUT he’s not someone you’re gonna ride for more than a couple of games.
That timely save still doesn’t come enough, but he’ll rarely lose you a game. He’s now a backup, you can have great confidence in, but come to understand, he’s just a backup no matter what. You’re not riding him for even 5-6 games. It’s why Alex Lyon grabbed that job last year. He can steal you 5 out of 6, or 8 out of 11 type runs. That’s just not who Reimer is now. But regular backup role? As solid as you can ask for.
