Not great if he’s insisting that he’s been healthy for weeks even though he’s listed as being on the IR. I’ve never really heard a Leafs player come out and say something like this before so thought it was interesting enough to post
peanut-arms
I didnt even know he was healthy. Figured his ankle was broken or something. Send him to marlies and be a character leader like clune or something.
Silent_Leg1976
He doesn’t play well. He can be upset as he wants, but unless he plays better he’s not gonna play.
I hope they find somewhere for him to get traded so he can stop complaining and ideally, he wouldn’t shit talk Toronto. Not that I care, but there’s enough shit being talked about the leafs as it is tho… ya know?
sneed_poster69
And most Leafs fan hate you’re taking up cap space and were -11 after 20 games
LowHangingLight
This guy is 37 years old and delusional
kingex11
Treliving should trade him to a team that will play him like San Jose or Chicago.
mattfromjoisey
With how we’ve played defensively, him on the ice would somehow still be worse
Ancient_Contact4181
Mind boggling signing
mikesully374826
Bet he loves $3.9m of guaranteed money though

Be better at hockey titfucker

Reaves needs a talking to, this is not how Robidas island works
DevOpsMakesMeDrink
These are the players Treliving is going to bring in. We are headed for more dark times.

The guy wears braces so his knees don’t pop out. Even in practice. But he’s adamant he’s healthy.
He’s not even on LTIR so there’s zero shenanigans here.
The reality is, reavo just sucks at hockey when compared to nhl peers at this point.
Reggae4Triceratops
Feel free to terminate your contract and leave
big-tuna28
but you’re Ryan Reaves lol
Kid-Goose
3 years guys

And “I definitely hate” how you’re absolutely useless when you’re in the lineup.
buckshot95
He should have been put out to pasture after the Boston game where liljegren got injured.
cutarm_creature
Geez, so much misguided hate for Reaves. This team can’t beat playoffs teams, nothing about that screams Reaves to me. It’s coaching plain and simple. Or is that Reaves fault too?
XPhazeX
Be worth the spot.
Easy fix Ryan.

That quote about his knees makes it even more shocking (as if it wasn’t already bad enough) that Brad signed him for 3 years!!!
“The braces have been a staple long before Reaves’ recent injury, though.
« I have very loose knees. I’ve torn both knees, like, a ton of times, and I just don’t feel comfortable on the ice without them anymore, » Reaves tells Sportsnet.
« I’ve tried taking them off, and my knees are so loose that when I cut, like, to get out of bed the next morning, sometimes they pop out. So, keep ’em on.
« I wouldn’t even practice without them. »”

Then maybe you should have done what the Leafs signed you to do and dropped Marchand after he slew-footed Liljegren in Boston.
InternationalBrick76
You don’t sign a guy like him and expect him to keep his mouth shut when the teams fucking around with him by keeping him on the IR.
This organization has been playing games with Robidas island and IR for years. I’m a fan of this team but the league needs to fix this IR nonsense. Tampa took advantage of it for years too.
Stop signing shit contracts if you have to use loopholes to bury them
n3rdsm4sh3r
It was a dumb signing. Who’s he gonna fight, himself? Cuz no one else is going to oblige him. He couldn’t skate worth a damn 5 years ago, he certainly hasn’t gotten better with age. When tree made him his first signing, they should have rescinded Brad’s offer of employment. Stick him in the Marlies and call it a day.
0nlyRevolutions
Great, not only is he useless on the ice, he’s going to go to the media and cry about being scratched when he’s not on the ice
Only 2.5 years left. Cool.
LevelDepartment9
i thought he was a ‘big locker room guy’?
complaining about correctly being scratched is not something to talk to the media about.
reggierock2010
He’s really going to hate taking the bus in the AHL next year lol
NeonPlamTree
Probably not complaining about those paycheques to do nothing though eh big fella’💰
old_bugger
Me: I defintely hate that Lafferty was sacrificed for someone who is constantly scratched.
calzonius
He should just pick up his cheques and shut up. He’s no longer good enough to play on the NHL, regardless of how sick his Spotify playlist is
So_Long_DentalPlan
Just take your money and shut up Reavo
Sic39
Kinda weird when everyone knows more about hockey than the GM. I mean everyone seemed to realise this was a stupid signing, everyone except Treliving.
Plastic-Ad-4440
Put him in
PhilMcCraken2001
Buddy you’re washed. Enjoy your nice paycheque and Robidas island.
bjtrdff
He got a guaranteed deal for more money and more years than the min, then couldn’t play hockey and hurt the team.
Plenty of other people to feel bad for who deserve it.
MrJeffA17
This is what you want from your big locker room ‘vibes’ guy. A lot of complaining
Have we ever had a worse signing than Reaves?
luckylukiec
I still can’t understand why we signed this clown. When every dollar counts we’re paying a guy that can’t fight or play hockey.
OneNineSevenNine
Personally I don’t fault Reaves. Treliving knows better. It feels like he didn’t do his due diligence with this contract.
Generals2022
Oh really? Then why didn’t you jump over the boards and fill Marchand in after he slew footed Liljegren into the boards. You sat on the bench looking like Marner does, jawing at him, instead of jumping off the bench and getting that punk. Yeah, you would have received a 5 game suspension, but so what? You’re here for one reason and when it was your turn to “do your job” you were a no show. Sit the rest of the year as far as I’m concerned. You can’t skate, you can’t score, and you’re scared of Marchand. Better still, take a buy-out.

We definitely hate you being shit. So we are even.
