[Signing] Vegas re-signs Ryan Reaves 2 yrs, 2.775 per year

[ricardodw]

The Flames have 1 playoff series win since 2004.

A guy playing like Reaves was the reason the Flames won the playoff series.

Ferland for 6 games was what Reaves is like on a regular basis. Ferland had 1 assist in the first 5 games but was clearly a difference maker. He was on a line with Stajan and Jones.

He got hurt dishing out a hit in the first game of the 2nd round and never regained his level of play he had in the Vancouver series.

Friedman says the Flames all but had a deal with Reaves and then something happened.

Source? Not on his Twitter from what I can see.

I really was against us overpaying for Reaves, the only way I saw us getting him, but this statement is so wrong.

Fire up your Netflix and watch Ice Guardians then see if you still think that.

And your Jets have won 2 playoff series since 2004. Worry about your own backyard.

Have seen it. Still don’t agree. The game is changing fast. Fans should too.

It was an interview with him on NHL TV. It’s on the app

I changed the title of the thread until this becomes official. They don’t need to wait until tomorrow so not sure what the hang up is.

Maybe the Flames (or Rangers) countered the counter?

I hope not - I don’t mind him and can see his utility but a bidding war over him would be dumb.

Vegas may be figuring out a karlsson deal first? I think that comes with Bobby Ryan attached.

Fans have nothing to do with this. Players dont like getting run and this fear makes them play different. It is as simple as that. Keyboard tough guys need to shut up and listen to hockey people.

"Keyboard tough guys need to shut up"
That's some fantastic debating there.
I agree with him. The game is changing and I look forward to the day when guys like Reaves don't have a job in the NHL.

Sorry Brad for having an opinion. Go ahead and sign your tough. No need to be a dick.
