One of the first signings that new Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Brad Treliving completed was a three-year deal with free agent Ryan Reaves that came with a cap hit of $1.35 Million.
While the Toronto Maple Leafs have received plenty of criticism for the deal, but the fact is that he will be dressing for the club for the foreseeable future.
What the club gets is an intense forward that is arguably the most feared player in the league.
Once the season starts he can put the fanbase behind him by making himself known to a few players that have crossed the line with the team over the past few years.
