We didn't see this one coming.
Respected Sportsnet's Elliotte Friedman just released some rather surprising news.
"Elliotte says that Montreal is one of the teams that has been linked with free agent forward Ryan O'Reilly, which I find surprising." - HabsLinks
In fact, Kent Hughes reportedly reached out directly to O'Reilly's agent to express serious interest, and he is likely to offer him a contract.
Stay tuned.
O'Reilly, 32, scored 11 points in 13 games in 2023 with the Toronto Maple Leafs, and 9 points in 11 playoff games in 2023. He is an extremely well-rounded center and a great teammate.
Clearly, Kent Hughes and Jeff Gorton are trying to turn the corner on the rebuild.
