The Toronto Maple Leafs pulled off a player swap Thursday that sends veteran forward Ryan Reaves packing to San Jose. The Sharks handed over defenseman Henry Thrun as part of the deal. Both teams announced the trade after finalizing the paperwork. Hockey fans watched another midseason move shake up the roster dynamics. The exchange marks a significant shift for both organizations heading into the stretch run.

Thrun brings defensive skills and youth to Toronto after spending his entire NHL career with the Sharks. The 24-year-old blueliner stands six feet two inches tall and weighs 210 pounds. He managed to score twice while dishing out 10 assists across 60 games during the 2024-25 season. His career statistics show five goals and 20 assists for 25 total points through 119 NHL appearances. Anaheim originally selected him during the fourth round of the 2019 draft as the 101st overall pick.

Reaves heads west to San Jose after a quiet season in Toronto that produced just two assists. The 38-year-old enforcer appeared in only 35 games for the Leafs during his second campaign with the club. His six-foot-two frame carries 225 pounds of muscle that made him a physical presence on the ice. The veteran winger originally joined Toronto through free agency back in July 2023. San Jose gains an experienced player who brings toughness and leadership qualities.
