What would it take to get Ryan Reaves back in a note sweater?

I like Ryan Reeves too much to wish him back on this miserable franchise. He deserves better.

Uh...No. Unless Ryan Reaves suddenly is an all-star defenseman, goalie, or world-class coach, he's not gonna make a difference in the win/loss column.

Yes.
He brings intangibles to the game.
We need his presence back on this team.

Only if we're going to get Cracknell and Porter back too and reform the CPR line.

We have a few elite players like Pie and Tarasenko and a core that o paper should be in the top 10 but we're bottom-dwelling instead. I like Reaves A LOT but if we're not reforming the CPR line then... why do this?

. The Ty Rattle one, not so much, but the world won't end for me if we pass on him. He had his shot but it makes one wonder if maybe he's ready now. His Pre-Season play was pretty damn good.It 101% is
True but he was with mcdavid too
if we are getting a time machine .. bring back the scud line
you know who looked good with mcdavid for longer than a preseason?It 101% is

That's just the thing, teams shouldn't be built "on paper." The Blues have had a lot of solid depth over the last decade, but maybe that's not the winning formula. You need star players in key roles and lots of role players who can contribute in other ways. Reaves was a great teammate and hugely popular with everyone. Not only that, he brought energy and physicality to every game. So I can see why some fans would like Reaves back.

RC gets it in his last post.I am not suggesting that the fourth line is the problem here or that Ryan Reaves puts this team in the playoffs. There is obviously something very wrong what this team. Not the roster but the chemistry. Ryan Reaves is a chemistry guy. Not going to show up on the stat sheet but it might show up in the win column. It is no surprise to me that this team hit the skids once Reeves was traded. There just simply is no one of his ilk on this team whatsoever. And on a side note Alex Pietrangelo has to be the softest captain I have seen in a long time. They honestly should pull the C off of his sweater and give it to Ryan O'Reilly. 2018 Blues are his team now. The personalities could not be more different. I honestly think we are in a position were a few more losses and you can just pack it up for this year. They have to do something ASAP and Ryan Reeves will not cost you a high-level prospect like Thomas or Kyrou.

When you play Washington without Reaves.....

I'd honestly take Reaves on the team for this reason only. You can make the argument that the league is getting more fast and skilled, sure. But nobody f***ed with stars when Reaves was here, we've seen quite an increase in it when he got traded.

Yeah but we had someone to abuse them back. We have no one now.
