The Rangers traded Ryan Reaves to the Minnesota Wild on Wednesday as a necessary move to adequately function under the salary cap.
on Wednesday as a necessary move to adequately function under the salary cap, but the acquisition of the veteran winger in July 2021 was a pivotal step in getting the club to where it is today.
Reaves still has value as an NHL player, just no longer for this Rangers team. After he skated in 11 of the first 12 games this season, it became clear Reaves couldn’t keep up with the speedy and skillful style of play the Rangers aspire to play. Reaves had dressed just once over the eight contests before the game Wednesday night versus the Ducks, which made him a logical candidate to move one way or another.
Part of it was also wanting to give Reaves a dignified departure. The impact he made during his 483 days in New York did not go unnoticed, and the Rangers evidently wanted to do right by him.There was interest in Reaves, but not as much as there would’ve been if not for how Julien Gauthier leapfrogged him on the depth chart.
