Newly acquired Toronto Maple Leafs forward Nicolas Roy has a lot to learn about the city, although it seems like Ryan Reaves might be a mentor to him.
Former Toronto Maple Leafs enforcer Ryan Reaves found himself in some controversy recently when it was stated that he was giving Mitch Marner advice about Las Vegas.
At the time, he was still with the Leafs, so some felt like it was an act of betrayal to steer Marner away from the franchise.
Since that time, Reaves has been traded to the San Jose Sharks in what some feel like is a not-so-subtle act of revenge.
Ryan Reaves helps out Nicolas Roy
However, during an episode of 'Leafs Morning Take,' newly acquired forward Nicolas Roy revealed the truth about Reaves, and it's surprising.
Essentially, the forward helped Roy when he saw that he was coming to Toronto. He helped him get situated and even provided him with the lay of the land.
It was a nice gesture from Reaves, who is an elder statesman of the hockey world.
In the same interview, Roy revealed what kind of player he hopes to be with the Leafs.
To play, like I said, for a Canadian team - a bigger market - obviously there's going to be a little bit of pressure. But I think that's a privilege as a player. When there's pressure, it means the expectations are high, and that's when you want to play - that's when you want to play your best hockey. So yeah, I'm really excited.
Ultimately, we wish Reaves well as he goes on this new journey with the San Jose Sharks.
As for Roy, we hope he can cope with the pressures of playing for such a massive franchise.
