Confirmed with Link: Ryan Reaves to NYR for a 3rd

[Lays]

Remember when I said could be worse?

Columbus will be rebuilding for most of that so they can afford to overpay now to either lock him up to a cheaper deal once that’s over or trade him to the DRW at a retained cap hit.

Ppl acting like we’re bringing in Cody McLeod or something. Reaves is fine on the 4th line and as a 13F. He’ll be great in the games vs the Islanders that everyone was bitching about us getting punked in.

He can take a shift, forecheck and bang bodies. He’s fine. He won’t play every game.

For years we've complained about the Rangers being flat and not showing any emotion. We finally bulk up on grit and size in the bottom 6, and there are so many complaints. Oh, no, we signed Tinordi as a 7D. We have plenty of skill and management is now making a statement that our young kids and skill is not to be f***ed with, and I'm all for it

 

[Lays]

Also when you think about it, we basically moved back a round in the draft to replace Howden with Reaves

Opening night. Rangers vs Capitals. In the wake of the last year's controversy, the energy has never been higher. Tom Wilson takes the ice and the harbinger of justice Ryan Reaves follows.

The two behemoths stare down one another. The battle is agreed upon. Gloves drop. What happens next will shake the foundations of heaven and earth and subvert the fabric of all human relations.

Wilson and Reaves proceed to hug it out in an extremely awkward, jersey grabbing 13 seconds of carnage. Wilson hugs left but Reaves counters by hugging him with a right. Wilson tries a follow up hug but is thwarted by Reaves who pulls out his secret of secret weapons, the reverse hug.

The battle ends. The villain from DC has been vanquished. He is forced to put his shoulder pad back into his jersey after it was temporarily displaced from the previous hug fest.

Reaves is lauded a hero. At long last, the rival dragon has met his match.

5 minutes pass as Wilson exits the penalty box and proceeds to board Artemi Panarin which dislocates his shoulder and gives him a concussion. Wilson is fined $5,000.

I have no problem with getting tougher. We can all complain, but the teams that go deep had grit. We were ten-ply soft. Bring it!

Gritty players that can play. Separate players from the puck on the boards instead of stick checking. Forecheck hard and gain momentum for your team. Not grit on players who can throw down.

[Thirty One]

Price is a little more than I was expecting, but did you all not have Reaves penciled in your lineups already?

 

[I Eat Crow]

Inevitable from the day Wilson ragdolled Panarin into the ice.

I don't hate this, though. He can take a shift against the shithead teams and not be out of place. Hope he gets his money's worth and goes right for Wilson's head on the first shift of opening night.

Welcome aboard!

Reaves is bad at hockey, good at fights but bad at hockey. He was so lost the little bit he played last playoffs, he was by far the worst player on the ice and ended up getting taken out of the lineup. I dont want to see morgan barron in the ahl and reaves "playing" hockey.

 

[McRanger92]

The Metro is going to be a wild division next year. All the top teams have a lot of bad blood between them

But he is out of place, all over the ice and especially his own end.

 

[Oscar Lindberg]

Now we just need Nick Ritiche and we’ll complete the trifecta of tough players and Tom Wilson will be executed at center ice prior to puck drop on the 13th lol

oh no, we’re not figure skaters anymore

 

[Trxjw]

Really looking forward to Reaves trying to fight Wilson and Wilson skating away while laughing.

 

[Machinehead]

I wouldn't have done this but I always like Reaves.

I hope everyone stays safe out there!

 

[will1066]

I mean it’s obvious this is an objective from the Jim Dolan so wouldn’t change if he was fired

User name checks out

 

[bleedblue94]

Why is there so much hate for tinordi? Like who cares the guy is a 7th or 8th d man. Jesus

 

[Fitzy]

Honestly the overreaction to Wilson this summer has been even more humiliating than the original beat down itself

 

[Shesterkybomb]

I miss jeff gorton.

 

[Nihiliste]

Well, Wilson’s going to have a rough few games against the Rangers that’s for sure.

 

[Raspewtin]

Reaves isn't a bad player but he's not good either. he really doesn't contribute much. if this merry band of dipshits makes the playoffs he likely won't play.

Yep. I’m tired of being the team high fiving the other team. Good teams make their opponents mad. As we have experienced.

TB was highly respected before winning the Cup. Now everyone hates them.

 

[Hire Sather]

Well we have the forward to groan about anytime he's in the lineup

What a waste of a draft pick and a player who will lose us games with his Tanner Glass ability.

We're one Eichel over payment away from predictioning everything correctly following the FO change
