O'Reilly's Future
The Toronto Maple Leafs got Ryan O'Reilly back in March to help them perform in the playoffs. Now that the season ended, he's UFA and looking for a new contract.
Just as everyone believed the Leafs couldn't afford him, there's been a major turnaround in Treliving's intention toward the 2019 Conn Smythe winner.
Back in Toronto?
Now, Brad Treliving is considering bringing him back for another season.
As reported by Pierre LeBrun:

"What's happening is new Maple Leafs GM Brad Treliving has communicated to O'Reilly's camp that they have interest in bringing him back. O'Reilly has not closed the door on Toronto, but I would say in general is O'Reilly has really left all the options on the table as he approaches the unrestricted free agency market. So yes, the Leafs are an option, but he would also be arguably the No. 1 centre on an otherwise weak UFA centre market."
The Leafs are seriously thinking about bringing O'Reilly back because they know he is valuable on and off the ice. He did well in his previous games with the Maple Leafs, scoring 20 points in 24 games. He is also a good leader, has experience in the playoffs, and knows how to win.
If O'Reilly returns, the Leafs will be stronger. He will make their offense better and improve their chances of winning important games.
Do you think O'Reilly will be back in Toronto next year?
