Expecting a multi-year deal for Reaves and the Maple Leafs tomorrow. https://t.co/kJ2YrJHreN

A multi-year contract for Reaves at age 36 is obviously a little eye-brow raising, and the question is whether it will be below the buriable threshold in case Reaves needs to be moved off the active NHL roster at any point during the contract — it’s worth noting Reaves has earned $1.75 million per season for the last three years (spanning two contracts), so we’ll see how much Brad Treliving has managed to shave the AAV by adding more than one year to the term (if Pagnotta’s report about the multi-year contract is true).
