Maple Leafs send F Ryan Reaves to Sharks for D Henry Thrun

The Toronto Maple Leafs traded veteran forward Ryan Reaves to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for defenseman Henry Thrun on Thursday night.
Reaves, 38, joins his seventh NHL team after two ineffective seasons in Toronto. The Maple Leafs demoted him to the American Hockey League in early March of last season.
Known as an enforcer, Reaves has incurred four suspensions during his NHL career, his incidents including an attempt to injure an opponent during the 2021 Stanley Cup playoffs and a check to the head of Darnell Nurse in a game between Toronto and Edmonton last November.
Reaves had four goals and four assists across 84 games in his two seasons with the Leafs.
In 15 NHL seasons, he has totaled 137 points (63 goals, 74 assists) in 912 games for the St. Louis Blues, Pittsburgh Penguins, Vegas Golden Knights, New York Rangers, Minnesota Wild and Maple Leafs.
Thrun, 24, had a career-best 12 points (two goals, 10 assists) in 60 games for the Sharks last season. In 119 games over parts of three seasons with San Jose, he has scored five goals and added 20 assists.
