Last week, I took to Twitter to ask you guys your thoughts on what the Carolina Hurricanes should do about James Reimer. Of the four choices (maintain status quo, try and trade him, waive him and call up Alex Nedeljkovic, or ‘other’), the vast majority of you voted to waive him and call up Alex Nedeljkovic.
While I do think Nedeljkovic is fully ready for a full-time backup spot, I don’t think waiving Reimer is the best way to go about things. Yet.
James Reimer is by no means a bad goaltender. The 31 year-old netminder still has potential to be a fully-fledged backup, and possibly even a starter in the NHL.
