Meaning Igor is locked in for the rest of the season.

$6.7M available at the TDL according to CapFriendly

I liked Reaves a lot and appreciate his time here, being a part of the identity and culture change. Now it is incumbent on this group to continue playing with that same identity and team toughness.

I wouldn't still mind having that in the lineup, but you have to be of some use outside that toughness. Reaves was that last season, at least mostly IMO. This season he simply could not keep up with the pace.

great Tom Wilson is coming back soon.

 

[bigdog16]

I hope we lose 15 straight so Herman and Sam Stern will shut the hell up on twitter about Reaves irrelevance and that locker room presence isn't a real thing. ...Because of course those two have been in many locker rooms im sure

Good guy, but heading for retirement after this year I think to run his brewery in Vegas. Getting anything for him is a win.

If anything, this tells me Gauthier forced Drury's hand to let him stay up. Good for him.

and that's when it will hit them....

Unless they add a massive human being like Soucy as a 6D, there's literally no one that could step to Wilson.... and that's when he gets brazen

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Terrible! This will give the Buch trade a run for its money

Can’t wait until Krav is traded lol

 

[Rangers in 7]

i thoroughly enjoyed having reaves on this team

never wanted him but i loved the energy he brought

will probably retire after this season and move to the broadcast booth in a few years....great guy

Just saying. If this was our team before the rebuild Gauthier would be still playing in the AHL.
Good job Drury.

They did sign Harpur. He’s probably not that far away from a callup, not because he’s any good at actually playing but because it’s Hartford and no one else is either

 

[FIRE DRURY]

Who’s going to RELEASE US now?!?!

 

[Machinehead]

It's the best thing for everybody.

I hope the Wild give him a chance to play, and either way, he's close to family in Winnipeg.

He's a good guy.

Another dart in the draft isn't a bad return.

 

[Boris Zubov]

Sad to see him leave, but he's a dinosaur in this league. His skating was problematic before he arrived, it's only gotten worse.

 

[LORDE]

Whelp, I guess we'll see what happens w Maroon, Wilson half the Bruins and the whole Isles team now

I understand he couldn't skate anymore, but he was also VERY underrated on this board for what he brought to the team as far as mentality

Best of luck Reavo!

You'll be missed

 

[gabevh3]

Yeah, I'm sure it had absolutely nothing to do with finding a team willing to take on his contract.

Yet we gave up a higher pick for him lol

 

[Kovalev27]

I hate it. Felt like he was a very important guy in the locker room. Even if he didn’t play as much as he’d like. Lot of vets struggle early too. Think he would have improved.

Hate moving him when blais in on the roster

 

[Machinehead]

this trade infuriates me. why did it take them 20 damn games to figure out what everyone knew over the summer. not trading him in the offseason cost them brining back the superior player in motte. i have enough of this drury/gallant duo.

Motte was always overpriced for what he brings. Our 4th line is really good and we just traded the one thing that holds it back. We don't need Motte.

 

[will1066]

Maybe now Panarin can psychologically move on.

At the very worst, Blais can skate on the 4th line and it's a good line, even if he isn't really doing anything. Reaves couldn't do that and they have similar cap hits.

 

[theFiGS]

Making room for Kane? 50% retained

 

[NYR94]

 

[Shesterkybomb]

Hopefully they can find someone on an entry deal that can skate and be an enforcer. The Isles will mop the floor with us
