It's 100% the Reeves trade because he took what won us 2 Cups and went in a totally different direction.
Here's what I don't get...our 4th line the Cup year was, I believe, Kuhnhackl-Cullen-Rowney? Then Bonino gets hurt and Wilson and Archibald take his place? Okay, cool, we still win. Reaves has out produced every one of them since. You don't win and lose cups on a 4th line guy.
Let's not forget, Reaves was sent out and we went and got Brassard in the deal. We were in the best possible position to three-peat than any team in the last 20 years. And they lost to the Cup champion Capitals in 6 in a series where Murray was not stellar.
...and somehow the cards came crashing down over a trade for a 4th line player who spent 50 some games with us? Calling bullshit.
