Rumor: Rangers Interested in Ryan Reaves

[Ori]

He likes to sing with the crowd too, and he is a character guy.

 

[Thirty One]

Reaves would get ~1mil

Brooks says Reaves would get at least $2.25M and that's about the least I would expect.

 

[Thirty One]

Where is the interest in Beagle reported?

 

[nyrage]

This thread hasn't been as interesting a I thought it would be. There is still time.

 

[GoAwayPanarin]

Stone age hockey! Toffnuss! Intangibles are meaningless!

Did I cover everything?

Character instead of intangibles.

Gotta get it right.

I'm 1000000% behind this on a 1 year deal. I'd prefer Reeves and Kunitz to Komarov, wouldn't be surprised if they ended up with all 3.

 

[Machinehead]

"We're rebuilding anyway so let's just bring in useless players because lol"

 

[Machinehead]

I would be fine with Kunitz. Always been a good hockey player, still is a good hockey player.

But we'll go for the worst of the bunch because we're rebuilding or something.

 

[CasusBelli]

Reaves would get ~1mil, Beagle about 2mil. According to CapFriendly it looks like we currently have ~30mil in unused cap space and are at 34 contracts so it's not like it would restrict the team from making other moves/signings. I wouldn't mind seeing some push back from this team in rougher games and if one or both of these guys can provide that and help bolster our up-and-comers mentally, I'm all for it. Beagle would be the only Cup winner on this team, too. And Reaves would add another Cup finalist to the roster..there's only about a handful of guys from our SCF run left in NY. Would also be nice having that sort of experience/viewpoint.

You’re probably right. A Cup on the resume will certainly increase Beagle’s ask. Reaves for $1mn is certainly reasonable.

 

[NYR Viper]

Fine with Reaves as long as the contract is reasonable. Lot so of young guys around and he’s a good guy in the room. People will overreact but he’s a decent 4th liner who can change momentum with more than his fists

Yeah I would think they sign a couple of depth guys. If Reeves is one, maybe someone like Ryan, Letestu, Filpulla is the other.

Let's bring in a bunch of promising young kids with high skill ceilings and surround them with plugs who give them terrible advice and teach them bad habits. **** it, can they contract out Dan Girardi to give the defensemen a camp on how to "clear" pucks from your own zone. Maybe AV can work with the shooters to practice "quality" over volume.

These guys they’re rumored to be looking at wouldn’t be there to set an example on how to play hockey. They’d be there to set an example on how to be a professional and work as hard as you possibly can.

It really has nothing to do with the mechanics of the game. And every post that makes it about mechanics widely misses the point and should be discounted by everyone.

That being said, I don’t know how many I want around. Two would be the max. Preferably one, in my opinion.

Also, since when do we need a thread for every rumor?

 

[Cassano]

He won't take a 1 yr deal so it's gonna be a bad contract.

 

[Irishguy42]

So does the rumor thread for the next guy go up in a couple of hours? I got dibs on...*checks UFA list*...Stastny or Neal

 

[Hunter Gathers]

Sign Reaves and Dustin Brown to just beat the f*** out of rival players. Will make the upcoming lost season enjoyable.

 

[Kendo]

I would love to get two more LEGIT 4th liners to go with Fast, IF the price is right. Reaves, Komarov, Beagle, whoever else. Heck, I wouldn't even mind Beleskey playing 80 games on the 4th line and only picking up a center.

I just don't want to relegate a good prospect to our fourth line.

 

[Ghost of jas]

It’s not even July 1...hoo boy.

 

[FireGerardGallant]

Would take Reaves on a one year deal if the idea is to flip him at the deadline for a midround pick

Most fourth liners max out as fourth liners due to their talent level, not because they don’t understand the game or have bad habits.

 

[Kovalev27]

I like it

 

[Nopuckluck]

I hear the Rangers are also in on Ogie Ogilthorpe and Chief Jay Strongbow

 

[SA16]

Lol this is like a McLeod thing where the player is so bad and the coach knows he so bad that he plays him 4-5 mins a game and it could be a positive if those extra minutes go to the first/second liners instead of giving the 4th liner 10 min

 

[DanielBrassard]

2M+ for this bum for multiple years most likely. GTFO.

They know he's bad but they go out and get him and give him a roster spot.

Sounds about Rangers.

Yep. Exactly. Need a guy to fill a “tough guy” role they don’t have. But 5 min of Reeves and then an extra 5 min spread between Zucc/Kreider probably is better than 10 mins of Komarov.

Now you ask “why can’t tbey just do the same thing and give Komarov the 5 mins?” And there’s no answer to give
