So with lots of discussion about Luongo potentially landing in Toronto,
What kind of return would Reimer net if Burke were to acquire Luongo?
- Teams may be looking for a 1A/1B type goalie (Chicago/San Jose), or a young goalie who could take over for an aging goalie a year or 2 down the road (New Jersey).
- We've seen young goalies like Lindback/Bobrosky net solid returns, Reimer is probably in a similar ballpark valuewise.
I would expect a significant haul. Reimer has shown to be a competent #1 goaltender. The only issue is that he was injured and was not able to become consistent because of those injuries.
He should pull in a #1 and a good(not elite) prospect or 2nd line/pairing player.
I would expect something like SJ 1st + Clowe. Something of that nature. or 1st+Clarkson from NJ.
That being said, I would much prefer to roll Luongo and reimer as a pairing and move reimer at the deadline when he has proven to overcome his injury and consistency issues.

Discuss.
San Jose won't be interested. We have Niemi and Greiss right now as our NHL goalies. We also have a few promising goalies in the system. We'd give our best goalie prospect, Alex Stalock, a chance at the starting job before we acquire a potential starting goalie. Goaltending isn't a problem for us anyway.

This seems a tad absurd. Lindback returned 2x 2nd round picks and a 3rd, I'd expect Reimer to bring back marginally more than that. Personally, I would expect more quantity than quality in a Reimer deal. For example, instead of getting a 1st I'd expect more of a 2nd and 3rd. And I don't think a forward like Clowe would be on the table at all. Heck, throw a 2nd rounder in there and we'll send Luongo back for your suggested package.
Reimer would be a great backup, building value for a few years. Then, maybe when he's 27 or 28 and really ready to be a solid starter, you make the decision on who to t rade.
Probably a 2nd/3rd. He is at that awkward stage where he isn't proven enough to give up much for, but he has done enough for Toronto to value him highly. Better off keeping him.
