Confirmed with Link: Ryan Reaves suspended 5 games

[WestCoastLeafs]

Have we applied for an extension yet?

 

[DarkKnight]

I don't see where he fits right now?

He doesn't. His role has become redundant. There will be teams once in a while that will go over board but even in those games, he doesn't do much.

The Tkachucks, Wilson, Crouse isn't going to fight him. So there's no value

I rather Steeves/Grebs long look. They haven't looked out of place, they are more valuable for future and playoff -readiniess

Was interesting to see him in shorts last night, in his usual spot beside Marner as the last two guys the other players tap heading to the ice.

Ideally the press box.

 

[DarkKnight]

Ideally the press box.

Yep, depth or waive him, he will clear. Most of us that didn't get all over the top about the deal figured it wouldn't last until the end anyways, cap hit after waivers is nothing and he's depth.

3 year term is so bizarre. Tre really wanted him that badly for some reason.

Yeah, he'll get the Simmonds treatment(waived but remain with the team) and earn a nice cheque as a cheerleader.

Leafs got an instant upgrade with him suspended so the writing should be on the wall for Reavo.

 

[Tarmore]

I think he has some use as a heavy forechecking forward. When the coach feels he will need one I think he will play. Well that and....

 

[leafsfan5]

For the love of God leave him scratched

 

[ACC1224]

When is his suspension over?

 

[Oscar Peterson]

When is his suspension over?

He's eligible to play tomorrow vs the Preds

 

[Doublerum1975]

I would rather have reaves playing then Alex Nylander on the fourth line

Suprised so many don't understand why he wanted him. It wasn't for his hockey skills first. Tre understands how to build a team and knew he needed to build one. Reaves is great for your locker room and has also at least been slightly helpful in shifting the tone of the team into one who doesn't take any shit

I know it's not for his hockey skills, but 3 years seems bizarre for a guy like that. They will probably waive him anyway. So what's the point of the 3 years?

Another team was offering more money but 2 years. We couldn't afford more so gave an extra year hoping by then the cap went up enough to almost fully bury it

He’s always the 2nd last guy to fire up the boys when they leave the room.
Marner obviously last.

Enough is enough. We have so many better options.
