Or you’re staring off a 200 foot cliff with a river at the bottom, worrying if you’re going to drown. Its the fall that’s gonna kill you. So if you’ve been shot before, you don’t need to wear a bulletproof vest anymore? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted November 16, 2022 Share Posted November 16, 2022 (edited) I think we're getting to the point where he's not even a deterrent anymore, hence the Bruins doing what they did versus what the Rangers failed to do. He had an nice career, he was a nice story for some people last year, but it's time to move on. Edited November 16, 2022 by Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dude Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 He's a Gallant guy. He's not going anywhere. I think they do see the writing on the wall though. He's not going to play every game. He's being phased out or kept fresh. Probably kept around for Isles, Bruins and Caps games. Just cause. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsm7302 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 He becomes redundant when Othmann gets here..... Obviously kidding but I'm pretty happy junior likes to rough it up. Reavo will stick around for his 50 games this year then he will be a memory a year from now. Not a bad weapon to have come playoff time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valriera Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 The problem is reaves not his role. I’m happy to pay his salary for someone to do the job he’s supposed to do. We need it, that’s important to the game of hockey. But Reaves isn’t doing that job so I hope we can send him packing and find someone who will. Thinking that he’s a deterrent just because we need one is a folly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sod16 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Dropping Reaves now would open up a little over $3M at the deadline, which is roughly what Andrew Copp cost last season. Take your pick: all of the great things that Reaves might do between now and the deadline, or the things an Andrew Copp might do after the deadline. Mind you, even if we were to get a lesser player than Copp at the deadline, we would probably need to unload Reaves at that point to do it, so we probably aren't going to have the great DJ for the stretch and playoffs, anyway.

Blue Heaven Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 9 hours ago, Arty said: If Reaves goes, get ready for skilled players getting abused Shesterkin was run a bunch last season, Reaves no where to be found. He had more goals (5) than fighting majors (3) last season, and i'm sure the skilled players got abused more than 3 times last season. Lindgren got a blind side hit, Reaves no where to be found. Reaves is washed up, saw it late last season where he would be full of adrenaline for about 2 shifts, then he can't keep up the rest of the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsm7302 Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 His game is a young man's game. Playing hockey and fighting at the age of 35, soon to be 36, is a heavy ask but that is who he is. This will all be done with after this year. If he isn't on the roster come playoff time, I'll be really surprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RJWantsTheCup Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 If keeping Reaves all season means not being able to get Kane at the deadline with Chicago retaining some salary I don't see it making any sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozzy Posted November 17, 2022 Share Posted November 17, 2022 Yup, I think it's time, fellas. I'm Reaves' biggest proponent, and have been since even before we got him here. But I think he's getting to a point where he's not able to keep up with the game. I think this is most likely going to be his last season as a Rangers player. I would really like to see him stick around to be a coach. I think he'd be great as an assistant coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RichieNextel305 Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 (edited) I think it’s time to toss Sammy Blais’ name in the ring too as far as potential roster casualties too. Just nothing there whatsoever that warrants a spot on an NHL roster right now. I feel bad about the injury and the work he put in to come back. But prior to the injury, he had played 14 games with no goals and 4 assists. This season? No goals and 3 assists. 0 goals, 7 assists in 28 games in a Ranger uniform.

He's not an offensive player, though, so I wouldn't take points into consideration. Generally he just really hasn't been that great, and the team just has too many players that don't give you much anyway. That is the bigger issue. He and definitely Reaves won't be back next season anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Literally one of the more useless players I can recall in recent memory IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cash or Czech Posted November 18, 2022 Share Posted November 18, 2022 He’s also been less aggressive lately. He was throwing around his body with reckless abandon the first ten games or so, then realized he won’t make it 200 NHL career games that way and basically stopped. Needs to find a middle ground to be effective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
