According to a report in the Toronto Star, Maple Leafs‘ goaltender James Reimer has signed a multi-year contract with the club.

While terms of the deal have yet to be released, the contract is believed to be similar to that of Kings’ goaltender Jonathan Quick, who last season signed a 3-year contract valued at $1.8 million per season with Los Angeles.

More details to be posted as they become available.

Update: CapGeek has listed the deal as 3 years at $1.8 million per (5.4m total), identical to that of Quick.

    At the end of the day it’s where Brad wants to sign. He’s already stated that his desire is to play in the East and I’m sure Joe wouldn’t want to see his team play against him all year round. Realistically, Toronto has the overall best cap space available to get this done and add even more to the roster to built it into a playoff contender. Toronto finally has got it right with it’s upper management and the farm system is coming along nicely. The fans are there and the city is fantastic…

    I think it wont be that simple. Lots of teams are thinking creatively. What about Richards signs in San Jose, San Jose flips Thornton to us and we funnel back to Niewendyk a pick or something via San Jose.

    I have to question if Richards wants to come to TO and deal with the insane spotlight he’ll be under. If he doesn’t perform immediately fans will be calling for his head… we saw it with Kessel, we saw it with Dion, and a ton of other players. The fans here are both a draw and a repellent for players.

    This is a good about Burke and this asset management strategy:

    -
    Regarding the tax argument: These guys make to much money that they pay advisors to reduce their taxes. They don’t pay taxes like normal income people.

    as much as i hate them they are not a disaster. If that were the case we would be an epic disaster without reimer

    @ jordan

    i wouldnt say so, their highest goal man had 29 goals…their best point guy had 57.

    we have three 30 goal guys, and with loops potentially 4. Plus mac as a 20 goal guy. All going well, we also have some depth scoring on the 3rd line.

    Plus almost all of MTL’s blueline is FA.

    i think we kill em at every position besides goalie.

    @UncleJakesCards

    I really believe that that’s what Joe, Burke and Richards are waiting for. They don’t want to steal the spot light from the Vancouver and Boston… Until than there’s going to be a lot of speculations being thrown around.

    Be great P but I take Ritchie on his word about wanting the east. Plus he sure doesnt want to be going back to dallas regularly.

    Apparently Oilers are entertaining offers for their first overall pick… what do you guys think it would take for the Leafs to get this pick?
