The San Jose Sharks have traded defenseman Henry Thrun to the Toronto Maple Leafs for forward Ryan Reaves. This move addresses the defenseman's decreased role on the team due to recent acquisitions and the emergence of younger players. Thrun recorded 25 points in 119 games for the Sharks. Reaves, known for his physicality and toughness, scored two points in 35 games last season. He brings a veteran presence to the Sharks, however, his impact on offensive capabilities is questioned.
Reaves isn't known for his scoring; he's better known for his physical style of play. He has 1,100 penalty minutes in his 912 NHL games.
We're excited to welcome Ryan to the organization. He will bring energy, personality, physical play and toughness to our group.
Thrun was acquired from the Anaheim Ducks in 2023 for a 2024 third-round pick. He played in 119 games for the Sharks between 2023-25 and had 25 points.
The trade clears out a left-handed defenseman who has fallen down the Sharks' depth chart with free agent acquisitions and the emergence of players.
