Blues may elect to protect Ryan Reaves in expansion draft

Related Topics: Ryan Reaves, Bernie Miklasz

Ryan Reaves is a lot of things: agitator, the Blues’ enforcer, a fan favorite, a locker room essential. One thing that he will probably not be: a Vegas Golden Knight.

The NHL’s expansion draft will be held on June 21st, and per Jeremy Rutherford, via Bernie Miklasz, Ryan Reaves will more than likely be a protected forward.

.@jprutherford says the #STLBlues may protect Ryan Reaves in that final slot. That would leave Perron, Lehtera, Brodziak & Jaskin exposed.
