Once again, the Don Cherry contingent of this fanbase wants to pretend that a player is something he isn't just because they like the way he plays.They need to be afraid to come off the ice after floating for a shift and to be held accountable every shift.
I am sure he will sit at the end of the bench and yell really well at the other team after they take their shots at our star players who he will never be on the ice with.Once again, the Don Cherry contingent of this fanbase wants to pretend that a player is something he isn't just because they like the way he plays.
- Reaves plays under 9 minutes a night
- He's slow
- He doesn't play defense
- He doesn't score
- He's been healthy scratched in the playoffs with New York last year during their run and Vegas in multiple deep runs they've had. Vegas btw won the Cup while being the least penalized team in the league
- He's 36 years old
- We had McCabe, Schenn, Bunting, Acciari on the team last season who could fight and they were told not to by the coach who we're bringing back. We also still have Kyle Clifford in the minors.
What is Ryan Reaves bringing to this team except fan fiction for people who don't watch hockey? I have no god damn clue but there's a lot of you people.

Wait until the end of summer before going on such a tirade. Still plenty of time.So far coming off a playoff run where we averaged 2 goals in our final seven games, were shredded by Florida on the rush (80% of their 5v5 goals came on the rush) the Leafs have opted to:
1) Overpay for David Kampf, noted offensive black hole
2) Target a 6'4 dman who can't skate with one of their three draft picks
3) Play hardball with William Nylander in contract negotiations, the only player on the team who consistently puts up numbers in the playoffs
4) Sign 36 year old 4th line winger Ryan Reaves to a multi-year deal. The same Ryan Reaves who has been healthy scratched in the playoffs with Vegas and the Rangers during their recent deep runs.
We really became the dumbest front office in the league overnight.
Wait, I thought Shanahan made all the decisions?The amount of idiots here who celebrated Treliving as a clear upgrade over Dubas when he:
- Never made the playoffs more than 2 seasons in a row with Calgary
- Overpaid for: James Neal, Michael Frolik, Troy Brouwer,
- Opted to bridge Matthew Tkachuk over signing him to a long term deal
- GM'd a team that never made it past the 2nd round in twice the amount of time that Dubas was GM of the Leafs.
Dumbest fanbase in the league, dumbest fan community, dumbest hockey forum.
Geez, you feel it in your bones huh. Let's call off the season. Wait, free agency hasn't opened yet.We are going to be a much worse team next year. Just feel it in the bones. Our front office has gone from average to straight up bad. Joy.

I’d be fine with thatGeez, you feel it in your bones huh. Let's call off the season. Wait, free agency hasn't opened yet.
And walked O’Reilly and Schenn to free agency
I don’t mind the Reaves signing but the Kampf over pay stings.
Early days but not the best start here

That’s part of it. The other part of it is not being linked to anyone else who’d at least be a regular?I don't think anyone is really against adding Reaves..... it's adding Reaves for multiple years at +1 million that I have an issue with.
We need toughness in the core.We need toughness and he’s as tough as they come. Better be cheap though
Pagnotta is a pretty reliable source.
And correct me if I'm wrong, but, Reaves is over 35, so this will likely be a "35+" contract. Meaning, that if he retires at any point during the contract, it will still count against the cap.
Dear God. This better be for no more 1 mil per if it's true.
He's made $1.75 the past few years. Second year is to get that down. I think he wants 1.25-1.5 per.Came here to say the same. At most 2 by $1M or less. Anything else, no thank you.
