Talent Analysis

At 6’2, 208 pounds, Reimer doesn’t have much of a problem filling the net. His style has been described as simply coming out of the crease and challenging shooters to find space around his large frame. When he is on his game, the lanky netminder uses his size to cut down angles and plays a controlled game.  He also displays decent puckhandling skills.

Future

Reimer should get a fair shot within the Leafs organization, as they do not have a backlog of talent at goaltender.
