James Reimer is heading west.

The Toronto Maple Leafs traded Reimer and forward Jeremy Morin to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for goaltender Alex Stalock, forward Ben Smith, and a conditional fourth-rounder in the 2018 NHL Draft.

Reimer’s contract carries a salary cap hit of $2.3 million and he will be an unrestricted free agent after the season.

It is the second trade the Maple Leafs and Sharks have completed over the past week as defenceman Roman Polak and forward Nick Spaling were shipped to San Jose in exchange for forward Raffi Torres and two draft picks.
