GhostsOf1994 Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 Having a Reaves level heavyweight that can play 10 min a game is worth the bump in ice time among the forward group. Not wanting to put a curse on anyone though I have legit concerns about the Canucks young stars being targeted or injured. Can Ferkie, Macewan... Myers... bring enough? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanuckleHorse Posted June 16, 2020 Share Posted June 16, 2020 (edited) Adam Lowry is a better hockey player I’d love to add him but his 2.9mill is a bit steep maybe if we could trade Sutter for him I’d consider that.

When Reaves hits it hurts too. I'd love to have that in the playoffs as it can really wear the other team's defense down in a playoff series. He's also posted 54 takeaways to 18 giveaways the last two years, which is a 3 to 1 ratio. Edited June 16, 2020 by boziffous 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RecklessReilly Posted June 17, 2020 Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) I just dont think its fair to say a guy like Revo has no place in the NHL. He is obviously in a very niche role, but lets not forget his impact in the Vegas Golden Knights run to the cup... he was scoring and taking the steam out of Tom Wilson. It easy to sit behind a computer and pull up stats to say hes a big dumb plug.... but all that says to me is you have never spent anytime in locker rooms or on the bench. There is such a thing as intangibles and those cant be put into a spreadsheet. Every player in the NHL knows when they are playing Revo... and every teammate of his loves him. The guy can skate, he doesnt turn pucks over, amazing forchecker and is a team leader on and off the ice.. Vegas is a well run organization and if they feel he was worth re-signing then that should tell you everything about him as a player. Its trendy to pick on enforcers, I know, but let the breed die in peace ffs. Cheers Edited June 17, 2020 by RecklessReilly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
