Derp... Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Not a fan of the deal. Was hoping Kostin would be there at 33. As soon as I saw the blues moving up I knew they would take him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rocky Balboa Posted June 24, 2017 Share Posted June 24, 2017 Wait. Did a knuckle dragger just get traded for a 1st? What is this, 1998? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like the league champs value toughness and having a safe playing environment. Go figure?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you Ryp, you can throw Reaves on the 4th line and he doesnt hurt the team. i was hoping the canucks could pry him out of St Louis. Having a guy like him and Gudbranson in the lineup can pretty much deter a lot of teams from doing stupid stuff against the younger players that will be transitioning into the lineup.

Need to temper expectations with this team. And by temper I mean having none at all because it's always a huge let down and disappointment in anything they are involved in.

One of the few pure fighters who has that ability. He happens to be the best fighter currently employed in the show too. Solid pick up for the Pens. in terms of hitting they are equal they both hit to hurt. Fighting head to head they are even with a slight edge to Peluso. He can also skate well for his size and can put up Reaves number if healthy. Younger, bigger, meaner and cheaper and you dont have to give up a late first for him. Klim Kostin for Reaves ouch. Peluso 5 points in 35 games Reaves 13 points in 81 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reaves is the undisputed heavy weight champ right now. Peluso meanwhile managed 2 points in 20 odd games this season in the AHL. If Peluso was capable of playing a regular shift in the show he wouldn't have spent the year in the minors. Don't get me wrong Peluso is a very tough legit heavy but Reaves is clearly on another level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I rather have a skilled guy on my team instead of Reaves. Him playing 5-10 minutes on a 4th line won't deter anyone from taking a run at Sidney. What did Cooke, Engelland, Asham, Ruff do when Crosby got concussed in 2010-11? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldnews Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Rutherford Ruthefording. Not a very good GM. Being at the wheel while a team wins doesn't necessarily make that GM a genius. Dealt a hand he couldn't lose with, otherwise, has been massively over-rated that past few years. I like Reaves - hits everyone in his path, good underlying numbers (virtually no ozone starts), plays hard, responsible defensive player - but paying this price for a guy that plays 8 minutes and change?

Harvey Spector Posted June 25, 2017 Share Posted June 25, 2017 Even Ryan Reaves himself couldn't believe he was traded for a first round pick... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a little low key roast to the team that traded for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
