Reaves was in and out of the Maple Leafs lineup up all season long, he is a niche player that knows his role, that comes with a load of healthy scratches. The league has moved in a different direction and a report indicates that there isn't any room in the lineup for a pure enforcer like Reaves.
Reporter for The Hockey Writers, Jesse Courville-Lynch, has stated that Toronto's enforcer could be involved in a trade before the season commences as Reaves only really can do one job, hit and fight when the team needs, but that style of play is not enough anymore...
With No Milan Lucic, do you think the Bruins would be interested in acquiring Ryan Reaves? He definitely plays the style of hockey the Bruins love.
