Sod16 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 Last night, when all of the Rangers looked slow, Reaves looked slower than slow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddious Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I like having Reaves on this team but he is pretty useless. I dunno what to make of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted April 3, 2022 Author Share Posted April 3, 2022 Reaves is still a quality asset, his effectiveness simply wanes as the season progresses. He's not a regular player after the trade deadline, or shouldn't be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Like any other black ace, his job is to keep the boys loose and practice competitive. He is not a unicorn, many players of his ilk don't dress for the playoffs because they can't do anything at the level required to be an NHL regular. Even Delauriers(sp?) Is one of the better PKers in the league. Edited April 3, 2022 by Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LindG1000 Posted April 4, 2022 Share Posted April 4, 2022 I wonder if it may be time for more of a "call me grandaddy" sitch here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need the cap space and he very obviously has a future in media or non-playing elements of pro hockey. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
