James Reimer, a 36-year-old goaltender, signed a one-year, $1 million contract with the Buffalo Sabres but struggled to find playing time due to the emergence of Ukko-Pekka Luukkonen and Devon Levi. After being placed on waivers early in October, he was picked up by the Anaheim Ducks, where he played two games, allowing nine goals on 66 shots, resulting in a .864 save percentage and a 4.50 goals against average. His performance has raised concerns about his future in the league.
