...or...against us? (I'm hoping he gets the opportunity, but not the result)Maybe....just maybe he'll come through and score a timely playoff goal for us?
All joking aside. JR tried it. We know from a hockey standpoint it didn't work out. Love the guy. Classy as all can be. Good teammate. But hockey is about winning at the end of the day and while he brings a lot of attributes to an organization and the locker room, he doesn't help this specific team win the Cup.
Thus... HUGE props to JR for trying it, not being stubborn, and moving on from it. Huge props. That's not easy to do in the NHL. We see it so often from so many coaches/GMs.
GMGM wanted him and paid for him, thats why he was traded.All joking aside. JR tried it. We know from a hockey standpoint it didn't work out. Love the guy. Classy as all can be. Good teammate.

Reaves had more value to the team than people here know or will admit. This will bare as a truth in the upcoming weeks.

No it won’t he had real value that is for sure because it is obvious that our stars have taken at least 90% less crap this season and that is being conservative. The reason you are wrong about the coming weeks is that now that we have Oleksiak teams still will not take the liberties.
Reaves was redundant after the deal with Dallas. You don’t need two elite enforcers. So while I agree Reaves made a big difference and anyone that does not believe that take the time to go back and watch last years games compared to this year. He served his purpose but we still have an enforcer that can play even more minutes a game and now we get $2 million cap relief this year and next! Great value to have for a team like ours.
Is the big rig going to have to square off with reaves when we play lv, like a scene from Youngblood?Oleksiak is not an "elite enforcer".
Oleksiak is not an "elite enforcer".
Can Oleksiak fight? Honestly curious. I always just figured he was a big guy who was willing, and could hold his own due to his size, but that wasn't really a "heavyweight fighter" that could take on the other heavies. Kind of like a bigger version of Ian Cole.
Let him punch you in the face then.Oleksiak is not an "elite enforcer".
Where do you suppose I fight Oleksiak? What bars does he frequent?Let him punch you in the face then.
