The Toronto Maple Leafs have been trying and failing to make a deep Stanley Cup Playoffs run for a long time now, and a former Leaf thinks they won't get there. Over the past few years, the Toronto Maple Leafs have continued to make big moves in pursuit of a Stanley Cup, and one of those came in 2022/23 when they traded for <a href='https://www.markerzone.com/hockey/stats/nhl/player/Ryan-OReilly-13181' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Ryan O'Reilly</a>, only to flame out in the second round against the Florida Panthers. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/NHL/status/1628486032776654848'> </a></blockquote></div> Now, it has been reported that the fallout may not have been as pleasant as once thought, as The Empty Netters Podcast have now revealed a shock statement from O'Reilly, who claims that certain people in that locker room will never win. <q>''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 never win, and I don't want to be here anymore'. And he's not saying that about the people in [Nashville's] locker room right now.''</q> While it doesn't officially come from O'Reilly, one can only assume at who he may have been talking about, and with two big free agents set to potentially leave Toronto next summer, we may one day get some answers. For now though, it's clear that ROR believes in the roster they've constructed in Nasvhille, and if everything goes right, we could shockingly see the two teams match up in the Stanley Cup Finals. That would certainly be an unlikely matchup, but given the lofty expectations of both, they'll both be hoping for a run at glory in 2024/25, and if the Maple Leafs don't win, this may not be the last we hear of this story.
