Description

1) 36 year old, 3 year deal at 1.35M - is anyone claiming him? Guys like Gregor and Lafferty would be scooped up immediately
2) On ice impact he's the worst forward we have. If Minten does well he's far more valuable than him, as are again guys like Lafferty, Jarnkrok, Gregor
3) Injuries happen - Reavo will be back up in no time I'm sure.
4) If we lose him, which is unlikely - did we really lose that big of an on-ice contributor? Nope.

Jones gets waived later after teams like Tampa grab a goalie.

I don't think there's 'waive them later' at this point. Roster submissions need to be in tomorrow which means players need to be sent through waivers today.

im not saying I think it WILL happen, but it SHOULD. I'd be quite surprised to see Reaves not clear. I wouldn't put it past the Leafs to do it though I don't foresee it.

I think Reaves is crucial for the Leafs this year.
He brings something no other player can bring.
Just having him on the bench is already a boost for the young players.
