Confirmed with Link: [CAR/FLA] Scott Darling + 2020 6th Round Pick for James Reimer

[Navin R Slavin]

"hey, wanna take this absolute shambling mound of broken human flesh... for that good goalie you don't like because your defense is garbage, so he can embarrass the **** out of you in three months?"

"sure where do we sign"

(Btw Scotty hope you're doing ok, no matter what you're a Stanley cup champ and no one can ever take that from you)

 

[cptjeff]

So, just thought I'd note that Reimer has, two starts into his time as a Cane, now won two consecutive starts for the Hurricanes, something Scott Darling never managed to do.

 

[Sens1Canes2]

I don’t remember the overall reaction to the acquisition of Reimer. I recall some assuming he’d be bought out - which I thought was weird, because we rolled last year with perennial waiver wire veteran McElhinney. This was certainly an upgrade (in terms of how one would view the two of them sans last year).

Anyways...glad to have him in the fold.

 

[Drivebytrucker]

He's played like 10 seasons.... 330 games with a .914 save percentage.

We're gonna get the same Reimer he's always been.

A really really really really underrated goalie.

Never forget the day we got a usable goalie for Scott fkn Darling

 

[Chrispy]

Paul Fenton thinks this was a lopsided deal.

Canes once again the beneficiaries of a desperate team doing desperate things for their Lord and Savior, in this case Sergei Bobrovsky.

I know it’s still early to be patting ourselves on the back, but...

Scott Darling: $4.15M x 2
James Reimer: $3.1M x 2

We might be getting out of Reimer what we’d hoped to get out of Darling, at a lower price. That’s a massive difference from a buyout staring you in the face.

I just had some fun reliving the first couple of pages of this thread. Basically instant amnesia to the toxicity of Darling’s contract...

$3.4 mil but your point stands

 

[Lempo]

$3.4 mil but your point stands

$3.4M AAV, but

$3.1M this year and $2.25M+$0.85M=$3.1M next year in actual salary

James Reimer - CapFriendly - NHL Salary Caps

(Scott's is in AAV though, so fair point)

Well, crap...I didn't scroll-right on my phone over to the Total Salary to realize he was paid different amounts each year. My bad.

We’re a cap team now guys. That’s the only thing that matters. It’s a weird feeling. I don’t know what to do with my hands. What is everyone else around the league doing?

Well... we could sell our first. If we had a bad contract.

 

[GIN ANTONIC]

true but we seem to be able to trade those for positive assets like Nino and Reimer so I say we stick to that for now

 

[TheReelChuckFletcher]

Well... we could sell our first. If we had a bad contract.

The only truly terrible contract that we have is Marleau's last year, but...you know.

A really really really really underrated goalie.

I can't believe he's played 10 seasons. He looks like Jstaal's younger brother.

 

[Finnish Jerk Train]

I can't believe he's played 10 seasons. He looks like Jstaal's younger brother.

Somehow Jared is old enough that he could have had 10 seasons under his belt by now, if only he had stuck in the NHL at the same age as his brothers.

 

[Tryamw]

Well he was the "best" pf the brothers... Still not sure who told me that.. (referring to Jared)

Wow! Time flies when you're losing.

 

[Svechhammer]

What? Sell a bad contract for 1st round pick?

pssh, nobody would be THAT stupid.

 

[Ole Gil]

Did anyone figure out why Florida didn't just buy out Reimer?

 

[Navin R Slavin]

Did anyone figure out why Florida didn't just buy out Reimer?

Because buying out Darling was cheaper because he had less time to buy out, I believe.

The Darling buyout was overall similar $$, but a more favorable Cap layout for the Panthers. There was a spike in Reimer's potential buyout in 2020-21. This is due to Reimer's $2.25 million signing bonus due next year.

Cap Reimer's buyout: $950k, $3.2 million, $660k, $660k
Cap Darling's buyout: $1.2 million, $2.3 million, $1.2 million, $1.2 million
