""I think there were some situations that could have been dealt with differently," Reaves told Bay Area News Group last week. "Put it that way.""
""I think there was just a lack of trust very early in the season," Reaves said in July after the Sharks acquired him for defenseman Henry Thrun. "It just looked like (if) I had one bad game, I was out of the lineup for four, five, six, seven, eight, nine games. I'd come back in, have a good game, but be taken right back out. I just really could never gain any momentum with my game, couldn't really gain any traction.""
""I started the season two years ago very well, and then things just started going really wrong for me," Reaves said in July, "and all of a sudden this whole city wanted me out of there.""
Ryan Reaves was acquired by the San Jose Sharks in July and is expected to play when the Sharks visit Toronto on Thursday. Reaves signed a three-year, $4.05 million contract with the Maple Leafs on July 1, 2023. He produced six points and seven fights in 49 games in his first season with Toronto. In his second season he was healthy scratched 15 times in the first 42 games, played 35 of 62, was placed on waivers in March and assigned to the AHL. Reaves experienced a perceived lack of trust early in the season that prevented momentum, and he faced criticism for recording only one fight that year.
