However, he is at training camp right now where he is under the tenure of new head coach Craig Berube. After being a healthy scratch more often than not last season, Reaves is looking to get into the good graces of his new coach. He wants to be in the lineup, especially with all of these young guys coming up looking to take his place.
Recently, Reaves was asked about Berube's coaching style and whether or not he was different than Sheldon Keefe. Well, as it turns out, Berube runs a very tight ship. In Reaves' mind, the first practice session was the hardest he has ever participated in.
Only time will tell whether or not Berube really turns the tide for this Maple Leafs team. Of course, they have been abysmal in the playoffs but great in the regular season. His job is to now take this team to the promised land.
