Insider: Toronto Player on the sidelines, end of an era?
Absolutely no doubt about it, Ryan Reaves from the Toronto Maple Leafs created quite a stir this week when discussing his time on the sidelines. Despite being on injured reserve since December 14, 2023, Reaves revealed to reporters that he's labeled as a healthy scratch.
In his own words,
Marek and EF think Reaves situation is interesting. Doesn't know what to make of it. Possible #LeafsForever could do something by Wednesday regarding Reaves.
TOR also looking for dmen. Will be asked about Knies, Minten, Cowan, 2024 1st, not likely to move any of them

Expressing his frustration, he added,
While Reaves may not have intended to accuse the Maple Leafs of manipulating the system, his comments hinted at such implications. On the recent episode of 32 Thoughts, Jeff Marek and Elliotte Friedman expressed surprise at Reaves' candid remarks and pondered if Toronto GM Brad Treliving is considering parting ways with him.
According to Marek and EF, the Reaves situation is intriguing, and they are uncertain about its outcome. They even suggested that the Leafs might take some action by Wednesday regarding Reaves.
Reaves had inked a three-year deal with Toronto before the 2023-24 season, a move by Treliving to add toughness to the team. However, early criticism during the season targeted Reaves for his perceived lack of impact despite consuming playing minutes.
