The Toronto Maple Leafs made headlines during the off-season by signing enforcer Ryan Reaves to a three-year contract, aiming to add toughness to their lineup. However, concerns arose about the 36-year-old's age and the perceived hefty contract.
Unfortunately, Reaves has faced challenges since joining Toronto, especially after injuring his knee on December 14th, sidelining him for an extended period. In a recent interview with Sportsnet, he revealed his readiness to return but acknowledged a lingering health concern.
While physically prepared, Reaves disclosed that he can't function or skate without knee braces due to their looseness, raising questions about his long-term playing prospects.
