Toronto Maple Leafs: Maybe Ryan Reaves Can Be a Good Fit
The Toronto Maple Leafs have failed to capture the imagination of their fanbase with the signing of Ryan Reaves on Day One of free agency.
In paying Reaves $1.35 million for three years, the Toronto Maple Leafs have committed to considerable term for a fourth-line player.
Hence the displeasure of fans in some quarters; why would you tie yourselves to a player that will be nearing 40 at the conclusion of his deal? Especially an enforcer who is bad at both scoring and defense?
Well perhaps the question is why wouldn’t you? Perhaps there is something about Ryan Reaves that makes him a valuable addition?
Toronto Maple Leafs Are Certainly Hedging Bets
