Grading Ryan Reaves trade between Maple Leafs, Sharks
Briefly

The Toronto Maple Leafs traded Ryan Reaves to the San Jose Sharks for Henry Thrun. Reaves, 38, has played over 900 NHL games and had a difficult tenure in Toronto, appearing in only 84 games and ending up on waivers. This trade allows the Maple Leafs to shed some salary as they look to move on from Reaves, who wasn't likely to play a significant role in the upcoming season. The Sharks may provide Reaves with more opportunity as they are rebuilding. Thrun, 24, adds youth to the Maple Leafs' roster.
Ryan Reaves, a 38-year-old forward with over 900 NHL games, was traded by the Maple Leafs to the Sharks for Henry Thrun, a left-handed defenseman.
The Maple Leafs moved Reaves to shed salary and because he struggled to find consistent playing time, having played only 84 games during his tenure.
In San Jose, Reaves may have a better chance to impact the team, as the Sharks are building for the future rather than contending in the present.
Henry Thrun, at 24 years old, represents a younger addition for the Maple Leafs, aligning with their strategy and future team development goals.
