Maybe the coaching staff of the Pittsburgh Penguins demanded it. Whatever the case, when the Stanley Cup champions acquired hulking winger Ryan Reaves, son of a Hall of Fame football player, on Friday night at the NHL draft it was a declarative move by the Penguins. On the surfacing, acquiring Reaves for a first-round draft pick seemed a huge overpay for the back-to-back champs. “Ryan is an intimidating figure.”Pittsburgh won three Stanley Cups without any real enforcer. It didn’t affect the races: It’s just plain weird ... A surprise to me: Auston Matthews got 11 Hart Trophy votes.
