Toronto Maple Leafs Surprise NHL By Placing Heavyweight Enforcer on Waivers
The Toronto Maple Leafs have parted ways with their fan-favorited forward in Ryan Reaves, and a major shakeup is incoming
According to Frank Seravalli, the waiver placement of Reaves is going to lead to something much bigger.
"Waivers today are going to be interesting. Expect to see at least one team creating some roster/cap flexibility ahead of what could be a larger move."
It was a much larger move than expected, and quite the unexpected one from a team that already lacks identity, placing their heaviest hitter on the waivers for all other NHL teams to have at.
Just 24hrs he left the team stretch in Vegas.
Usually the captain leads the stretch after Leafs skate/practice

Ryan Reaves (TOR) on waivers
Chicago Blackhawks fans have witnessed their 19-year old star Bedard be hit a lot more than expected, with no consequences dealt to their opponents, teams aren't shy to throw a crushing hit against the former first overall pick.
The acquisition of Ryan Reaves to Chicago could be much needed and would benefit the locker room, while providing on ice protection for the Blackhawks' youth, throughout this tough rebuilding time in Chicago.
