Goaltender knows he will be a hot commodity in free agency.

James Reimer knows he will likely have team vying for his services this summer.

After being acquired by the San Jose Sharks from the Toronto Maple Leafs at the trade deadline, Reimer has served as backup to Martin Jones during their run to the Stanley Cup Finals. He only played limited minutes, but sparkled despite vey few appearances.

He managed a record of 6-2-0 and a .938 save percentage, and made one playoff appearance in relief of Jones.

"You kind of know what teams are in the market and might need a goalie," Reimer said Saturday according to Mike Zeisberger of Postmedia. "I’ve kind of heard too that people who go into free agency, they have their short list of two or three teams they think are in the market. Plus there always are teams that come in from left field. You kind of see here or there potential teams that need goalies."

For now, however, his attention remains fixed on the present.

“Right now you’re focused on the job at hand. I’m trying to get that silver thing,” he said, referring, of course, to the Stanley Cup.
