The Florida Panthers are reportedly "working hard" to trade goaltender James Reimer, according to TSN's Pierre LeBrun.

Reimer, who is signed for two more years at a $3.4-million cap hit, is the club's only goalie under contract after Roberto Luongo's retirement Wednesday.

The Panthers have been heavily linked to unrestricted free-agent goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky on multiple occasions. They're the betting favorite to land both him and Artemi Panarin, and Florida already met with both UFAs.

Reimer endured a down year in 2018-19, posting a .900 save percentage and a 3.09 goals-against average in 36 games. He owns a .914 save percentage and a 2.81 goals-against average across his nine-year career with the Panthers, San Jose Sharks, and Toronto Maple Leafs.
