Panthers GM: Targeted Sharks' Reimer as long-term solution

There were several moves by the Florida Panthers, including the signing of goaltender James Reimer to a five-year, $17 million deal to share the workload with starter Roberto Luongo.

Reimer has spent six seasons in the NHL, mostly with Toronto. He also appeared in nine games – eight regular-season, one playoff – with Stanley Cup finalist San Jose this past season.

Reimer came to South Florida to see the Panthers’ facilities Friday and was quickly convinced he was making the right decision.
