NASHVILLE – Ryan O'Reilly feels his decision to sign with the Nashville Predators this summer despite strong reported interest from the Toronto Maple Leafs doesn't tell the whole story.
Last week Nashville Predators fans got to hear from recently signed free agent Ryan O'Reilly. The 32 year old center shared his optimism for what a newly constructed Predators roster could do in the near future. "I think the veteran players that are here right now - the way they impact the game is so impressive," O'Reilly said.
O’Reilly acknowledged the unique nature of Toronto and expressed his preference for a different environment.

With a watered-down group of past-their-prime players leading the way, here are the five best free agents available.
Toronto Maple Leafs forward Ryan O’Reilly is a pending unrestricted free agent, who is very likely heading to the open market on July 1.
O’Reilly is now 32 years old and he’s on an expiring contract. He has a high hockey IQ; and, given his resume, he’ll be attractive for another organization.

Many people in the hockey world were intrigued by what Ryan O’Reilly would bring to the Toronto Maple Leafs after they acquired him and Noel Acciari from the St. Louis Blues on Feb. 17, but I don’t think anyone expected what we saw last night in Buffalo.

With O'Reilly in the last year of his contract and the Blues struggling to stay in the playoff picture, it made sense to find a trade for him. Allowing him a chance to compete in the playoffs, while getting something in return was a win-win for both parties.
O'Reilly is entering his third season with the Blues and his 12th year in the NHL. He helped the franchise capture its first Stanley Cup in 2019, winning the Conn Smythe Trophy that year as MVP of the playoffs.
Before being traded to the Blues ahead of the 2018-19 campaign, O'Reilly spent three seasons with the Sabres from 2015 to '18, and while he was successful individually during those years, Buffalo didn't qualify for the postseason and sat toward the bottom of the league standings.
