Ryan O'Reilly claims two Toronto Maple Leafs players won't win Stanley Cup
In a recent episode of the Empty Netters Podcast, Ryan O'Reilly, former Toronto Maple Leafs forward, reportedly made a bold statement about the team's chances of winning the Stanley Cup.
According to the podcast, Ryan O'Reilly expressed doubts about the championship potential of some of his former teammates, suggesting that there are players on the current Leafs roster who "will never win" the coveted trophy.
O'Reilly, who has been a notable presence in the NHL for 15 years, won his first Stanley Cup with the St. Louis Blues before joining the Maple Leafs for a brief stint in the 2022-23 season. His time in Toronto was cut short as he signed a four-year contract with the Nashville Predators, seeking another opportunity to secure a Cup.
Despite the bold claims, O'Reilly's exact criticisms and the names of the players he referred to remain undisclosed. The speculation surrounding his departure and the subsequent remarks have stirred considerable discussion among fans and analysts alike.
The departure of O'Reilly from Toronto has been a point of curiosity for many, with speculations suggesting that his move was driven by a desire for a more promising shot at the Stanley Cup. However, the recent adjustments made by the Maple Leafs' management, including the hiring of Craig Berube as head coach and the promotion of Auston Matthews to captain, may challenge O'Reilly's pessimistic view.
Reports: Auston Matthews named Maple Leafs captain
Should O'Reilly's observations prove true and the existing roster lacks the components for a championship, a significant shake-up in Toronto might be warranted.
The appointment of Auston Matthews as captain could bring the shift in leadership needed to advance the Leafs' Stanley Cup ambitions.
