How Ryan Reaves Changed the NHL Forever

Ryan Reaves has a very influential trade history.

Reaves has become a household name in the National Hockey League for over a decade now, representing a dying breed of hockey players. Reaves is a heavy, physical player mostly known for his fighting capability while occasionally potting a goal here and there. Reaves’ career is also filled with several trades, trades that would feed into future trades that would significantly shake up the NHL for years to come. Reaves’ trade history can be used to explain the downfall of the Pittsburgh Penguins, the rise of the Vegas Golden Knights, and maybe most importantly, the rise to dominance of the Florida Panthers. In this episode of swap streak, I will explain the trade history of Ryan Reaves, and why he single handedly changed the NHL forever.
