In a recent episode of the Empty Netters Podcast, it was reported that Ryan O'Reilly believes there are a couple of players on the Toronto Maple Leafs who will never win a Stanley Cup.
Ryan O'Reilly, a veteran NHL forward, won his only Stanley Cup in his first season with the St. Louis Blues. After a brief stint with the Maple Leafs, where he played just 13 games in the 2022-23 season, he left the team to sign a four-year contract with the Nashville Predators.
Many wondered why O'Reilly left the Leafs, and it's now suggested that he did not see a Stanley Cup win as a realistic possibility with Toronto. According to the podcast, O'Reilly reportedly told Leafs management that certain players on the team would never win a Cup, which influenced his decision to leave.
"I was talking to someone who knows Ryan O'Reilly very well, and he had talked about his time in Toronto and was like, 'certain people on this Toronto team will ne- ' He like, went to management and was like 'Blank, blank, and blank will never win, and I don't want to be here anymore,' And he's not saying that about the people in his locker room right now."
The exact players O'Reilly criticized have not been disclosed. With recent changes made by the Leafs, including hiring Craig Berube and promoting Auston Matthews to captain, there's hope that these moves might prove O'Reilly wrong.
