There's been tension building between the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ryan Reaves for some time now, and according to a recent report, things could be heading for a messy ending.

Ryan Reaves could hit waivers soon

According to Sportsnet's Luke Fox, the recent comments from the veteran Reaves could lead to the end of his time in a Maple Leafs jersey.

While F Ryan Reaves has been activated off of injured reserve by the Toronto Maple Leafs, Luke Fox of Sportsnet believes he will be placed on waivers because of his comments made earlier this week.

There seems to be some issues between the two sides as of late, and this could spell the quick end of Reaves in Toronto.

One of the biggest issues between the two sides has been Reaves' playing time, and with young guys stepping up and contributing, his one goal in 21 games with little physicality just isn't going to cut it.

If Reaves goes unclaimed, which is very likely given his contract and play as of late, he will be sent down to the Toronto Marlies and be forced to continue playing within the organization, so buckle up Toronto fans, things could get interesting.
