San Jose Sharks Sign James Reimer

July 28, 2021 at 11:36 am CDT | by Josh Erickson 9 Comments

The San Jose Sharks have brought back a familiar face to their goalie situation. TSN’s Pierre LeBrun reports that they’ve inked former netminder James Reimer to serve with new acquisition Adin Hill. It’s a three-year deal paying him $2.25MM per season.

Just like that, it’s a new day in net for the Sharks. Gone are the days of struggling starter Martin Jones and a series of backups unable to push him. The goal now belongs to young Hill and reliable veteran backup Reimer. Reimer will push for starts against the former Coyote, who himself has only even been a backup. The competition, which has been missing in San Jose of later, could spur both keepers to play at the top of their games.

For those who have forgotten, Reimer was nothing short of amazing in his first stint with the Sharks, recording a .938 save percentage and 1.62 GAA in 2015-16 after coming over from the Toronto Maple Leafs at the trade deadline. Considerable time has passed since then, but Reimer has been a very solid backup for the Florida Panthers and Carolina Hurricanes in the years since, playing far more than a typical backup as well, and should continue to provide reliable play in San Jose.

    Imagine that a Reimer/Hill tandem is a MASSIVE upgrade from your previous duo.

    Does anyone else feel like this is way to big a contract?

      Yeah I’m shocked he got a 3 year deal, max should’ve been 2. The cap hit isn’t the worst but I’d rather spend that money on like a Brossoit if I were San Jose.

      I guess you could argue the years, but Jake Allen signed a 2 year 2.875 aav deal last year with similar stats.
