Screen Shots: Ryan Reaves, Ottawa Senators and Edmonton Oilers

Welcome, once again, to Screen Shots, a regular THN.com feature that takes a briefer look at a few disparate hockey topics. In this edition, we’re analyzing three NHL teams in different states of desperation thus far this season. As always, we’ll get down to business right away:

– The Minnesota Wild looked rather desperate this week in acquiring enforcer forward Ryan Reaves from the New York Rangers. It’s hard to imagine Wild GM Bill Guerin looking at his team’s 9-8-2 record this year and deciding that adding a fighter who has never scored more than nine goals in a single season is going to jump-start Minnesota’s largely ineffective offense? If Reaves really was a difference-maker, why did the Rangers give him up for only a fifth-round draft pick?
