Confirmed with Link: Ryan Reaves suspended 5 games

[HellasLEAF]

No doubt. But his tenure as a Leafs has come to an end. All these injuries and suspensions has shine some light on other players. They have thrived and earned a spot

I look at someone like Minten. Definitely earned a spot
Steeves, you can tell he has some NHLer in him. He's only 24
Grebs, very raw but hasn't looked out of place

1.5 million dollar for a feel good guy is too much. He can be part of the team, if he plays every 3 or 4 games as a reliever

I would have to agree with Minten and Grebs. I would have Reaves in over Steves imo. But either way, I would try and keep him around somehow. Tre signed him first thing on free agency and Berube plays him almost every change he gets. So clearly they like/value him differently than some fans.

I'd love to see the team do with him what they did with Muzzin during his final year. Offer him a role as an assistant coach or in the organizations player development group.

He's seemingly well liked, so would keep him around the team but leaves the roster open for another, younger player

Muzzin was able to have the two contracts without the PA or league throwing a fit, don't see why they can't do it again

Need him in games, we won that game because of that hit.

Muzzin was hurt and couldn’t play though, no?

True. But he still has an active player contract when hired as a scout by the Leafs

I think they’d want Reaves off the cap as well.

Leafs get a win with Reaves in the lineup. What a shock, one fourth liner doesn’t dictate whether this team wins or loses.

No one player dictates whether a team wins or loses, but he certainly didn't help. He was the worst player on a line that got caved in.

Nah, he's still an awful player that shouldn't get regular ice time

Reaves sucked. Useless now, waive please.

 

[notbias]

I don't see where he fits right now?

Don't forget that you advocated for him over McMann at the beginning of the year because he deserved a spot despite being outplayed... why did your opinion change? The situation is still the same, he is undeserving...

WRONG !

 

[ACC1224]

Found he was useful last night but he wouldn't be missed.

 

[All Mod Cons]

Guys. They are not going to waive Ryan Reaves. It just won't happen.
