Sharks Trade Thrun to Maple Leafs for Reaves

The Toronto Maple Leafs have traded veteran forward Ryan Reaves to the San Jose Sharks in exchange for 24-year-old defenseman Henry Thrun. Reaves, who played 35 games for Toronto last season with two assists and 28 penalty minutes, is expected to bring physicality, leadership, and playoff experience to the Sharks. Sharks General Manager Mike Grier highlighted Reaves' positive impact and veteran presence. Thrun, who had two goals and ten assists in 62 games last season and 25 points in 119 career games, goes to Toronto as a young blue-liner. The Sharks made Thrun expendable after signing Dmitry Orlov and claiming Nick Leddy to strengthen their defense. The trade addresses each team's specific roster needs ahead of the new season.
