A rumour that took many by surprise, including us, but we finally have an explanation. As reported by the guys from Habs Fan TV, the excellent Jeff Marek just informed us of this:

"According to Jeff Marek, some of the Habs players tried to convince General Manager Kent Hughes to sign Ryan O'Reilly, but the Tricolore couldn't find a way to do it under the salary cap. Would O'Reilly have been a good addition to the team?"

O'Reilly, 32, scored 11 points in 13 matches in 2023 with the Toronto Maple Leafs, and 9 points in 11 playoff matches in 2023. He is an extremely well-rounded center and a great teammate.

O'Reilly eventually signed a four-season contract with the Nashville Preds, a deal worth a total of 18 million dollars. (4.5 million per year)
