Luke Fox joins Real Kyper and Bourne to discuss the rough start to Ryan Reaves' three-year, $4.05-million deal with the Toronto Maple Leafs and what his future with the organization might look like.

The Toronto Maple Leafs activated right winger Ryan Reaves off of injured reserve on Tuesday.

Tyler Bertuzzi, who is with his wife awaiting the birth of a child, has been designated as a non-roster player and will not count towards the team's 23-man limit.

Reaves, 37, hasn't been in the team's lineup since suffering a knee injury on Dec. 14. However, he told Sportsnet's Luke Fox that he's been ready for "a couple weeks."

In the summer, the Leafs signed Reaves, who was a free agent, to a three-year contract worth $1.35 million annually.

You can watch the Maple Leafs face the Winnipeg Jets on Sportsnet and Sportsnet+ as part of Wednesday Night Hockey beginning at 7 p.m. ET/ 4 p.m. PT.
