Player Discussion Is it time to Waive Reaves...

[mapleleaf979]

U bench Reaves or waive him after Max Pacioretty head was slammed by Zadorov and Reaves did nothing. If u watch Reaves in an interview he comes across as a talker not a fighter. Zadorov knew he can do that and get away with it. Reaves needs to answer these types of things or gtfo.

did nothing but get intercepted by the linesman.

How many complain (again) that the Leafs are too soft up front, nobody to protect Marner, Matthews, etc. if Reaves is waived/released. Headlines leading to trade deadline will read how the Leafs need to add toughness, etc.

We need a GM that can think a year or two into the future and plan for the day that Reaves won't be around. Should already have guys on the farm that are younger and almost ready to replace him.

Need some muscle on the team but ones that play hockey

A 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th for Tanner Jeanot?

 

[keonsbitterness]

So we're all agreed: 10 year extension.

 

[HockeyVirus]

I think he stays on the team all year because they value what he brings to the teams energy. But in the offseason, I could see him trying to move Reaves somewhere and if that doesn't work waiving him next camp.

 

[Leaf Fans]

No, Robertson and LA retains 50%.

 

[BlackAdam]

At least Parros will do the Leafs a favor by hopefully making Reaves miss the next 5 games.

 

[All Mod Cons]

No.

 

[BraveCanadian]

Suspension incoming

 

[Lightsol]

Suspension incoming

Yep, and when he gets back people will once again ask why he's not hitting again...

 

[DitchMarner]

I don't get why this guy is dressed for every game. I can tolerate having him in the line-up on occasion... but every game including back-to-backs???

He made a really stupid hit tonight and deserves to be suspended.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Time is up

 

[keonsbitterness]

Unless they have to fit new/injured players under the cap, no.

 

[Commander Clueless]

It might be time shortly.

If he gets a lengthy suspension and was already struggling, well....someone (or multiple someones) might be able to steal his spot convincingly.

Then again, maybe not!

Berube has a special place in his heart for a brawler. This may give him the excuse to cut him loose

 

[Guided by Veseys]

Who was the guy on cbc saying they should throw the book at Reaves? That was pretty weird. The panel looked really uncomfortable all night.

 

[TMLAM34]

Dirty hit, will definitely be suspended.

 

[colchar]

Didn't look that dirty when I saw it. The result was bad, but it didn't look like the hit was.

 

[NastyKnies]

He followed through on a hit. isnt that what we want? Stop acting like a bunch of babies.

 

[Gilmour1996]

Nice hit Ryan! The wokies may disagree but don't listen to them.

 

[Maple Leaf]

Typical Scott Stevens type hit

 

[thewave]

Nice hit Ryan! The wokies may disagree but don't listen to them.

It's an illegal check to the head. We follow the rules regardless if we liked it or not. Certainly suspendable under the rules and I expect that.

Jen makes the panel look so uncomfortable when this happens. Horrible experience, Prime it up next contract

 

[Seras]

That hit ko's nurse and also knocked the guts out of the entire oilers team at the same time, reaves should have been 1st star

 

[1specter]

Addition by subtraction, hoping for a nice long suspension.
