"Thursday night marks the return of Ryan Reaves to Toronto after the former Maple Leaf was traded to the Sharks this summer. Reaves' exit from the city came after he spoked candidly about feeling the team 'lacked trust' in his game last season, leading to limited playing time and an AHL stint. Speaking after morning skate on Thursday, head coach Craig Berube touched on Reaves' return to Toronto."
""I've known Reavo for a long time," Berube said. "I think Reavo's had a great career, in terms of what he does and his role as a player. You know, things happen, that's just the way the game goes. You get a little older, get towards the end of your career. I went through it, I understand totally where he's at and what he thinks. It's all good, I love Reavo.""
