Recall that former GM Kyle Dubas acquired Ryan O'Reilly to help the team, but it wasn't enough. There is definitely something wrong, and his departure raises a lot of suspicions.
This discussion on social media has generated thousands of reactions from fans who agree that there is indeed a hot potato within the team, and it involves one of the star players.
It is worth noting that a few hours before being dismissed, Kyle Dubas mentioned being willing to sacrifice one of the star players on the team, willing to do anything to help them win.
It is still surprising that he lost his job only to receive a promotion with the Penguins a few days later, don't you think?
Regardless, one or more of the star players on the team, without naming names, is toxic for the organization and needs to be targeted and replaced if the Leafs want to have a chance to take it to the next level.
Reportedly money and term weren't the issue in Ryan O'Reilly looking elsewhere.
That guy knows what a championship locker room looks like. Not a good sign if you're the Leafs.� Sid Seixeiro (@Sid_Seixeiro) July 1, 2023
