The St. Louis Blues had to know what kind of player they were getting when they drafted Ryan Reaves way back in 2005. He was always going to be the kind of player he is now.
Even as a minor leaguer and in junior, he was not a big point producer. There are some guys that score tons in junior and have to reinvent themselves when they can’t score in the NHL. That was not Reaves.
As a young player, the most points he had was 35 back in the WHL and the Brandon Wheat Kings.
