Ryan Reaves has a reputation as one of the best fighters in the NHL. He is feared throughout the NHL and no player in his right mind will choose to take him on. That’s precisely why the New York Rangers traded for him. We shouldn’t expect to see him fight very often, but he will be in the lineup a lot, especially against teams that enjoyed pushing the Blueshirts around.
If one thing is clear, Reaves is very happy to be here.
The interesting thing about Reaves is that once his reputation was established, how few fights he has actually had in the last several years.
