Maple Leafs Players Career Could Be Coming To An End Due To Health Problems
During the offseason, the Toronto Maple Leafs made a notable move by signing enforcer Ryan Reaves to a three-year contract.
The consensus was that Toronto, aiming to bolster toughness, may have overpaid for the 36-year-old player. As the season unfolded, concerns mounted, especially after Reaves injured his knee on December 14th, sidelining him.
Contrary to expectations, Reaves revealed that knee issues have persisted for some time. In a sit-down interview with Sportsnet, he expressed readiness to return but acknowledged a significant hurdle�he can't skate or function without knee braces, raising health concerns.
With over a month of absence, questions arise about Reaves' future. Despite being physically ready, the necessity of knee braces poses a critical challenge. As Reaves contemplates a potential return or retirement, the decision looms large, hinting at a pivotal moment in his career.
