The New York Rangers have been after Ryan Reaves for years. Golden Knights GM Kelly McCrimmon called him a “very popular player” and gave some insights into why he made the trade.
“It ended that [the trade to the Rangers] was a pretty good outcome,” he said. “I believe there’s a real good chance for Ryan to get extended in New York for next year. Which was important to him and was important to me. New York has shown interest in him for an extended period of time.”
