Report: Panthers 'working hard' to trade Reimer
The Florida Panthers are reportedly "working hard" to trade goaltender James Reimer, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.
Reimer, who is signed for two more years at a $3.4-million cap hit, is the club's only goalie under contract after Roberto Luongo's retirement Wednesday.
The Panthers have been heavily linked to unrestricted free-agent goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky on multiple occasions. They're the betting favorite to land both him and Artemi Panarin, and Florida already met with both UFAs.
Reimer endured a down year in 2018-19, posting a .900 save percentage and a 3.09 goals-against average in 36 games. He owns a .914 save percentage and a 2.81 goals-against average across his nine-year career with the Panthers, San Jose Sharks, and Toronto Maple Leafs.
