"A lot of confidence, swagger... consistency. That part of it, I wasn't quite sure on that end. You know, you don't really know until you see a guy and you work with him everyday, but his consistency, his demeanor and his attitude, everything that's he's brought here daily and then his consistency in his practice habits, consistency with how he's played on the ice - I've been really, really impressed.
This is a true professional who knows his job. When I say that, I'm not referring to his role as a physical player - the fighting and all that kind of stuff. He, defensively, knows his responsibility. He's gotten it right pretty much every time and plays hard and smart, keeps his shifts short - I've been really impressed with what we've gotten from Reavo here so far. I thought he was excellent in the first game the other night, so I've been thrilled with him here and what he's brought to our group." - Sheldon Keefe on the addition of Ryan Reaves
