In a surprising move, the Toronto Maple Leafs have traded 38-year-old veteran enforcer Ryan Reaves to the San Jose Sharks, receiving 24-year-old defenseman Henry Thrun in return. This strategic exchange moves the Leafs toward a younger defensive core while freeing up valuable salary cap space.


✅ Why It Matters to Ontario Fans:

  • Cap flexibility: Offloading Reaves provides the Leafs with fresh room to pursue free agents or re-sign core players.

  • Youth infusion: Thrun arrives with NHL-level experience and offers a long-term solution on the back end.

  • Roster reset: This signals Toronto’s continued shift toward modernization and future depth planning.
