My interpretation of your comments was skewed by my initial error in believing you were standing by the position that "Reaves is a turnover machine." Looking back now, my understanding is you were taking umbrage at comparing Gaudreau, Brodie and Hanifin with Ryan Reeves and their relative number of giveaways. I agree that making comparisons between Reaves and Flames' players with a much higher number of giveaways is not particularly helpful given how different their roles are. But nor does anything you say change that there is no basis to say Reeves is a turnover machine for having 11 in 63 games, especially given he has almost three times as many takeaways. The whole thing then gets sidetracked into comparing Reeves and Gaudreau which is ridiculous.
I would like to see Johnny give it away less though. He's had a lot of bad ones lately in his own zone. Rittich bailed him out on one last night.
