First up on our trade candidates list is former Toronto Maple Leafs goalie James Reimer. Although the Manitoba native is known best for his time in the Blue & White, he last donned the Leafs crest in 2016, nearly four years ago. Reimer left Toronto in a trade to San Jose at the 2016 trade deadline, and signed a five-year contract with the Florida Panthers that summer.
In his three seasons outside of Toronto, all with the Panthers, Reimer has posted a .912 SV% and seven shutouts in 123 games. These solid stats (much like Hutchinson) are deceiving, as Reimer struggled mightily with Florida last year, recording an abysmal .900 SV% and 13 wins in 36 appearances.
This past summer, Reimer was dealt to the Carolina Hurricanes, whom were believed to try to flip the 31 year old. Three months later, Reimer has participated in the Hurricanes training camp, and is set to start the season with Carolina.
So, a trade for Reimer seems unlikely, especially considering the Toronto Maple Leafs current cap situation would require salary retention on the Canes’ part.
