Some players are happy when they’re not traded at the deadline, but that’s not the case for San Jose Sharks netminder James Reimer. The veteran told Curtis Pashelka of the Bay Area News Group that he was disappointed to not be on the move on NHL deadline day:
"Obviously the goal is to win a Cup and it’s been the goal since I was three years old," said Reimer. "So, it’s unfortunate it didn’t come to fruition. Obviously, that’s every guy’s dream in here."
Sharks GM Mike Grier acknowledged that he did try to move the 34-year-old but the goalie market was limited; not a single one moved on deadline day. It also didn’t help that Reimer has struggled this season, posting a career-low .892 SV% in 32 games this season which likely played a role in the lack of interest in the pending unrestricted free agent.
