Ryan O'Reilly Makes a Big Statement About His Future in Toronto
It's been two months since Ryan O'Reilly was traded from the St. Louis Blues to the Toronto Maple Leafs.
If Kyle Dubas was able to land the Blues' captain, it's in big part because he'll ne UFA at the end of the season.
Ryan O'Reilly Talks About His Future
During an interview, he revealed that he likes playing in Toronto.
"It's impressive. I always knew there was lots of staff here and resources. Getting here and seeing it firsthand, it's at first a little overwhelming. Once you kind of get a handle and get to know everyone, it's pretty amazing, the help that you have to assist your play. Like myself coming back from injury and just every facet of your meals to everything. It's just so elite and above everything I've seen before."
Then, he was asked if these perks would come into account when he'll be in the free agent market this summer:
"Yeah. Obviously, yeah, that's for sure. We got playoffs still to come, but, yeah, there's not a bad thing I can say for this organization.
They do everything the right way, and if something doesn't work here, they're changing, right? They're always looking at ways to get better. And that's the reason why it is such an amazing franchise."
The 32-year-old still has some great hockey to play before hanging his skates. We'll have to wait to know where he'll end up next season.
