What exactly does Reaves do?

Reavo wants to play!:

‘I definitely hate it’: Maple Leafs’ Reaves discusses string of healthy scratches – Sportsnet.ca

Half of Reaves’ job was to lay hits, inject intimidation, and wear down the opposition in the O-zone. The other half was to liven the dressing-room culture, to let his swagger infect others, to play dressing-room DJ and pump up the fellas.

When the Maple Leafs win these days, someone in the room cues up an old G-Unit banger, “I Like the Way She Do It,” to celebrate at full volume. Reaves didn’t pick the song.

“Wasn’t me,” he says. “Good track, though.”

Let him play for the Marlies.

Does Reaves really expect to crack the lineup when players with Robertson's skill level are the odd man out?

I wonder if he'll just get dealt at the deadline for a 7th rounder like other teams have done when they see he's not what they need.

More likely “future considerations”. I highly doubt someone would pay a 7th

Yeah you're right. We may have to include a 5th rounder just because he's signed to term.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Yeah - we will need a sweetener to offload that 3 year deal.

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Maybe he’d still be in the lineup if he fought after game two.

 

[tmlms13]

Yeah - we will need a sweetener to offload that 3 year deal.

If they buy him out after this season. It will be a 450k dead cap each of the next 4 years. I'll do that over adding a sweetener to unload all of it.

 

[Suntouchable13]

Who let him out of Robidas Island?

Yeah that’s peanuts, just tell Mitch to take 12.550 instead of 13 mil

 

[horner]

We should have waived Reeves and signed Corey Perry inthink treliving wanted him but probably not MLSE.
I think he is really going to help Edmonton in the playoffs.

 

[WTFMAN99]

Having Lafferty instead of Reaves this year I feel maybe gets us another couple of points.

Just waive him
Next yr with the cap going up maybe 100 though against the cap.

His lost his job to Gregor. Garbage camp is on him.

He lead our team in pre-season scoring.

Edit: Lafferty had 4 pts in 5GP

Timmins had 6 in 3GP
Knies had 5 in 6

Gregor had 3 pts in 6GP

I blame Treliving for the Reaves signing overall

Can't skate u can't play .somebody should be fired for this signing

And yet we kept Gregor? He was awful in camp, zero jam, no urgency. All I’m saying, it wasn’t Reaves that cost him, he was beat out by a PTO. We could have kept Lafferty and not signed Gregor, right, this idea it’s all Reaves is flawed.

I’d waive Reaves, people want to make a big deal out of it, it’s a minor move. Bury the contract, it’s 200 grand, a minor gaffe.

He was never there. That is the fictional home for LTIR contacts. Reeves has been on IR.

I don't think it would be hard to include Reaves in a deal, it basically makes what Toronto is sending out in the deal 200k more expensive.

For example, Peeke for Kamphf+Reaves is really like Peeke at 2.75 M for Kamphf at 2.6 M (if you include 200k for Reaves).

 

[sxvnert]

Wastes 1.35m in cap space.

 

[Arzak]

He still here?

He has two years after this one, who do you think is going to trade for him?

A team in desperate need of a DJ.

 

[fancy lad]

well team is playing its shittiest hockey in its worst stretch and reaves has been MIA. …. Just saying

You know the team is in shambles when we wish we had Lafferty back

Steve Aoki, he was the DJ on the banned goal song, maybe they owe it to him. (Kid Cudi was the lyrics)
