Overview
- Reaves told TSN 1050’s First Up this week that he has "one more left in the tank" and wants to play another year to hit the 1,000-games milestone.
- He is an unrestricted free agent after the 2025–26 season and is about 38 games short of 1,000 career NHL games.
- Reaves played 50 games for the San Jose Sharks in 2025–26, recording three goals, 37 penalty minutes and averaging 7:48 of ice time.
- His season ended after an upper-body injury during a March 21 fight that reporting describes as a likely finger injury; the account of the exact injury is limited and not fully confirmed.
- Reaves has done television work and attended the NHL Broadcast Training Camp this summer while training to stay ready, and teams may consider him for a training-camp or short-term deal given his age and enforcer role.
