The San Jose Sharks acquired Ryan Reaves from the Toronto Maple Leafs in exchange for Henry Thrun. While the move was a bit perplexing to both fan bases at first, especially for Sharks fans, it helped clear an obvious logjam and added some needed toughness to the forward group.

Based on Ryan Reaves' recent comments, it doesn't sound like the ex-Maple Leafs enforcer is going to take the high-road on his way out of Toronto.

Though hardly a blockbuster, the Maple Leafs' decision to deal Ryan Reaves to the Sharks for Henry Thrun makes sense. There is another trade coming, and the Leafs just carved out more cap room to facilitate.
