James Reimer Signs 3 Year Contract with the Leafs

Written by PuckMe    PDF Print E-mail

James Reimer capped off a dream season by signing a US$5.4-million, three-year contract extension Thursday. Reimer led the team on a surprising second half turnaround after getting called up from the American Hockey League.

"He earned the opportunity to play at the NHL level this past season and he made the most of it with his outstanding play," Maple Leafs general manager Brian Burke said in a statement. "He really grabbed the net and never looked back. We are confident that his talent and strong work habits will be contributing factors to our team's success next season."

Reimer scored a big raise after finishing a rookie contract that paid him about $600,000 at the NHL level. He's expected to be the team's No. 1 goaltender next season.
