Blues aren't trading for Reimer, they certainly aren't trading 2 3rds for Reimer.

The blues goaltending hasn't been near as big of an issue as it looks on paper. Greiss isn't great, but Binnington honestly has played pretty well despite his stat sheet. The defense has been god awful in front of him. 9/10 goals that he lets in he doesn't stand a chance.

So if the struggling sub-890 SP% Binnington goes down you want to ride Griess in the playoffs? Lol. Riemer is a great goalie 1a 1b goalie to have. with over a 900 SP% every year of his career.

You don't have the comps for that return you're suggesting Meier fetches, especially without an extension attached.
The 1st rd pick would likely have to be removed in its entirety.

Bold of you to assume the Blues are making the playoffs.
The WC race in the west is very tight.
