7. Ryan Reaves is unplayable
The Leafs are already losing 3-0 during his minutes. He hasn't been that bad yet, but he's pretty bad even at his best, and he's only going to get worse from here.
Not only will the Leafs lose Reaves' minutes, but they won't be able to solve their depth scoring issues as long as he's on the team. Berube is an ex-enforcer and probably loves the guy, and Treliving is the one who gave him the league's most embarassing contract.
Odds of the Leafs making the smart play here do not look.
8. The power-play is a disgrace
3 goals in the first seven games of the season, 3 for 26, and ranked 26th in the NHL. I shudder to think what the power-play stats would be if you included the playoffs from last year or the last month of the season.
The Leafs power-play is just stale. It needs to be torn down and re-assembled. Considering the players they have, this has been a joke. It likely rights itself in time, but enough is enough here.
