Fills a hole, decent back-up if Levi needs to go back down. Has only one sub .900 sv% in his career, did well in Detroit last season. I'd argue that he should be in Buffalo and Levi in Rochester, but who am I kidding?

 

[Zman5778]

Well, here's our Levi insurance. Fine by me.

 

[TehDoak]

I really like this signing. I am hoping he is our defacto 2 and Levi gets the starts he needs in Rochester.

 

[Jim Bob]

Optimus Reim.

He is a decent veteran NHLer as long as he has some semblance of defense in front of him.

I'm not mad at it.

 

[SabresFan26]

Like it. Start Levi down and make him earn a NHL job.

 

[Diaspora]

I'm shocked by this signing. In a good way.

 

[Weltschmerz]

scnr

 

[Diaspora]

Well, in a moderately good way.

 

[SabresFanNorthPortFL]

Cool.

Still less than 24 hours in….

It really appears the Ruff signing flipped the switch here….it seems to me at least, that Lindy us working with Adams to identify and fill holes.

Couple more pieces

 

[Fjordy]

I like it, we needed an experienced goalie to support UPL and not rush Levi.

 

[CrazyWayne]

Finally they signed someone that provides insurance if your young players aren't ready

This is a move that should have happened the last two years

If Levi is ready he will play in the NHL if he isn't he can play in the ahl

Same with the bottom six.

 

[Chainshot]

Well, that’s a number three option.

They have made moves like this; Anderson and Comrie. One worked, one didn’t

 

[Jim Bob]

Well, that’s a number three option.

I just pray to God that they do not keep 3 goalies out of camp.

Lindy is definitely heavily involved with this offseason.

 

[Jim Bob]

Reimer is way more like Anderson than Comrie at 35yo and with over 450 NHL starts under his belt.

 

[Dubi Doo]

Nice insurance policy, and a solid back up. I wonder if this means Levi plays most of the year in ROC. I was good with him being our backup. Im fine with him playing most of the year in ROC, too.

 

[Dirty Dog]

I just pray to God that they do not keep 3 goalies out of camp.

Why would you even put that into the universe

Why would you even put that into the universe

Because even though I turn 50yo in a week, my memory is still functional.

 

[CrazyWayne]

That's true, I guess it feels different because even with those moves you were counting on an unproven guy to carry half the starts still vs now upl is at least a bit more proven and you know a base of what you will get out of him

 

[PunchImlach is Alive]

I'll allow it

 

[Chainshot]

I just pray to God that they do not keep 3 goalies out of camp.

There is a very subtle joke in here, isn’t there?

Adams has said Levi is up. Is that wise? Maybe, maybe not.
