Just... no. Why would you ever give a player like Reaves this much term? Even if he was much younger, it's not good.

Hater gates flooding this one eh, jeez guys...

it's clearly a 3 year because he had other teams wanting him aswell. The 3rd year basically keeps the AAV down and gets you the USEFUL, yes...USEFUL, 4th liner this team needs and has needed for years.

He will serve his purpose and that's all you ask for from 4th liners.

I agree, I think some people just react without really thinking about the situation etc

Less money for a better player. Chicago wants to reach the cap and surround Bedard with winners and they managed. Toronto don’t have the cap space to overpay like Chicago

Acquiring an enforcer is fine, I guess but giving him 3 years term over 1 mil is quite another.

People are scared of him and he's 21. He's easily one of the most feared players in the league right now.

I wanted Reaves in Florida so bad but not for a 3 year contract. 1 or 2 years would have been better.

I wanted Reaves on the Jets for a year but my god…3 years at 1.35?! Don’t know about this one TOR.

He's 36 and a terrible NHL player, shouldn't get anything more than league minimum

HAHAHAHA! Reaves has ZERO hockey value. 3 years for more than the league's minimum?



You can bury $1,200,000 of a contract in the minors.

So when he gets sent down (and I'm sure he will at some point).

He'll cost $150,000 against the cap (but ya'll will still freak out over 150k).

he still counts towards the cap when he's retired
the contract will be done at 39
200k if burried which isn't tidy work

4M makes it bad


They are going to flip him at the deadline. Money doesn't matter one bit for Chicago. This is good asset management
