As per Damien Cox.

Terms weren't announced, but its believed its a $1.8 mil/year deal for 3 years (as per Quick's deal w/the Kings)

Good number - If he plays like he did last year.

Even if he doesn't play like he did last year, it's still a good deal. I'd even be comfortable in around that number for a backup (1.3-1.5 ish).

to be honest, i kind of think Reimer's overrated by Leafs' fans.
Dude has a way to go before I think of him being an above-average goalie. right now, i'd say he's slightly below average.
not bad for a rookie, tho

Gunnarson re-signed as well, 2 years at $1.3M per. Not bad so far.

And obviously I'm hesitant on Reimer as well. Last year we were riding Gustavsson's jock strap after a great run to end the season, desperately need Reimer to be the real deal though.

don't mind the signing in the slightest. could potentially be a basement bargain if he continues his solid play. if not, then at 2mil per, it's hardly handcuffing.

...how is Reimer overrated? Putting up a 20-10-5 record, leading the team into a playoff race, all while playing his rookie season in the toughest market in the league is considered overrated? Sure.

One of the toughest, next to Montreal.

Regardless of how he plays next season, it's a great deal. From what I saw of Reimer though, he reminded me of Halak. Great for a stretch of games, then really bad for a few. He seemed too on/off for me, but he is only a rookie, so you can't really complain.
