San Jose Sharks traded defenseman Henry Thrun to Toronto Maple Leafs for enforcer Ryan Reaves. Reaves aims to protect the Sharks' young stars from physical play. He expressed excitement about joining the Sharks and fulfilling his role. General Manager Mike Grier emphasized the need for toughness and leadership in the team, stating that Reaves' presence would add personality and physicality. The Sharks are hopeful that this trade will contribute positively towards their competitive standing in the upcoming 2025-26 season.
"I'm really excited," Reaves said, via NHL.com. "Everybody is asking me, 'Oh, I can't believe you're going to San Jose.' I go where anybody wants me and anybody who wants me I'm excited to do whatever I can for that team and that organization, so I'm excited to get down there."
'Reavo' is someone we thought our group needed a little bit of personality, a little bit of size, some toughness, some physicality," Grier said, via NHL.com. "There were times, some games last year where we could've used someone like him, so we're excited to bring his veteran leadership and energy and his whole package. We're really happy to bring that into our group and I think it will help our group."
