Says the team who claimed Mason Geertsens from the Rangersthen resigned him I believe, lol
Everyone is thrilled to join the Rangers. Look I get it, it’s not downtown Newark but it ain’t to bad either
Confirmed Trade: [MIN/NYR] Ryan Reaves for 2025 5th round pick
- Thread starter Marc the Habs Fan
- Start date
Does this mean that there's someone worse than Reaves on the Minny roster that he's coming to replace?

He was rostered most of last year and actually played 25 games for you, that’s funnier than any Reeves dig
A whole 25 games? That’s like a third of the games Reaves played and on a team that was trying to compete.
And fun fact, when he did play, he actually managed not to get caved in and performed better by a fairly wide margin than Reaves.
It really isn’t funnier at all, you’re lying to yourself.

I'm really amazed teams are still trading draft picks for Ryan Reaves!!

Didn’t mean to offend you, just exploring the irony of a team playing Geertsen and poking fun at Reeves. Have a nice holiday!
Between the two of us, I don’t think I’m the one acting offended…
Happy Thanksgiving to you too.

Reaves did a lot more for them off the ice than on the ice. He was a good personality/character in the locker room. Got them pumped up.
If we had a fast top 9, we could've afford to have a slow Reaves in the line-up on the 4th line. But being that our team plays so slow, Reaves is just adding to that disaster. There's just no longer a need for him in the line-up. But signing him wasn't a mistake either. He helped the team and it didn't involving just throwing hands.

Reaves was more useful than Geertsen. Don't kid yourself. The entire NYR team got caved in hence Igor winning the Vezina.
Foligon is a plug. What else does he bring besides toughness?
not sure if you're trying to bait me with this weird take or what but yeah, when we picked him up it wasn't with any expectation other than he can "stand up for teammates" and skates decently enough to keep up. Turned out more useful, however. how many players in everyone's bottom six across the league score 42 points?
He scored 23 goals last year. Excellent defensively, great forechecker, very physical, good speed, good size. Wins battles both on the boards, and in front of the net. Very useful player at his cap hit... his ability to fight is the least of his attributes. Almost every team will have a place for him in their lineup.I’m not saying Geertsen is a good player, but all available metrics show that he performed better than Reaves, that’s how bad he is. Unfortunately, intimidation and pump-ups per 60 are both not tracked stats and completely made up.
That guy calling a plug was just kidding.. Right?
Thanks for the reminder!!!
Lucky for us Kostin didn't really pan out!!
Yeah, that's fair. Sundqvist was pretty good though.

On one of the best shutdown lines in the league. Good secondary scoring. I'd also argue he's more the captain that Spurgeon is regardless of him not wearing the 'C'.
You apparently don't know much about the guy, so your default response is 'he's a plug'. Maybe ask the question first, before putting the ignorance part at the beginning of your post next time.

As for the Wild... uh, well I don't even know
