Ryan O'Reilly allegedly claims two current Leafs will never win the Stanley Cup
In a recent edition of the Empty Netters Podcast, it was reported that Ryan O'Reilly stated that there is a pair in the Toronto Maple Leafs who will never win a Stanley Cup.
Ryan O'Reilly is a well-respected forward in the NHL, having paid his dues to the league for 15 years. Having only won the Stanley Cup in his first season with the St. Louis Blues, he got traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs. Yet, after only playing 13 games with the team in the 2022-23 season, he decided to cut ties and sign with the Nashville Predators to a four-year contract.
While many had wondered why he split from the Maple Leafs, we can likely trust reports suggesting he wanted another chance at the Stanley Cup and did not see that happening in Toronto. According to a recent edition of the Empty Netters Podcast, the veteran forward called out a few names to management as not being capable of winning.
"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."
As of yet, there have been no revelations of which players Ryan O'Reilly slammed in his discussion with Toronto's management. Hopefully, with the adjustments Brad Treliving has made with hiring Craig Berube and promoting Auston Mathews to captain, this former Leaf will be proven wrong. this former Leaf will be proven wrong.
