Rory McIlroy Offers Eye-Opening Comments on Maple Leafs

Rory McIlroy Offers Eye-Opening Comments on Maple Leafs originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Toronto Maple Leafs are heading into a crucial offseason following another early playoff exit. Toronto fell short in Game 7 of their second-round series with the Florida Panthers, sending them to another bitter offseason. Advertisement With the team having multiple key players entering free agency, the roster could look very different next season. But many have questioned the legitimacy of the title contention from this franchise, considering the playoff failures that occur each year. However, golf star Rory McIlroy hasn't lost faith. The veteran golfer had some eye-opening comments on the Maple Leafs' title chances. 'If I can win the Masters, then the Leafs can win the Stanley Cup,' he told TSN's Bob Weeks, having been longtime friends with Pelley. 'I hope they do it, I was pulling for them hard, especially now because Keith is involved.' Rory McIlroy walks off the 15th green during the final round of the PGA Championship golf tournament at Quail Dedmon-Imagn Images The Maple Leafs have seen a 57-year Stanley Cup drought, last lifting the trophy in 1967. Toronto has built consistent winning teams almost every year, but the organization continues to fall short in the playoffs. Advertisement 'I guess we now all have to throw our support behind the Oilers at this point, but one day I hope…it's only a matter of time.', McIlroy said. The franchise is expected to make some big changes across the roster this offseason in the hope of mixing things up. The Maple Leafs front office seems determined to bring a title back to Toronto, starting with the president and chief executive officer of Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, Keith Pelley. "Our next step is to take it to the next level and we felt that this move would help us get to the next level. Make no mistake about it, making the playoffs and winning rounds is not our aspirational goal; our goal is to win the Stanley Cup.", Pelley stated. Maybe McIlroy will turn out to be right someday. But for now, the Maple Leafs have a lot of work to do before they can fully be considered true Stanley Cup contenders.

Golden Knights Predicted to Reunite With Jonathan Marchessault in Blockbuster Move

Golden Knights Predicted to Reunite With Jonathan Marchessault in Blockbuster Move originally appeared on Athlon Sports. When the Vegas Golden Knights decided to move on from star Jonathan Marchessault last offseason, it was one of the more strange decisions around the NHL. Marchessault had just led Vegas to a Stanley Cup title in the previous season, and he was one of the leaders of the team. Advertisement But Vegas wanted to get younger, and Marchessault was a casualty of that fact. But with the Golden Knights being eliminated early in the postseason this year, the front office may look to make big changes to the roster. One of those could be bringing back one of the players directly responsible for helping them win the title. Marchessault had a down season with the Nashville Predators, but his fit never made that much sense to begin with. The veteran scored 21 goals and 35 assists for the Predators this past season. But due to Nashville having their own roster issues, it could see them look to move him. NHL writer Lyle Richardson of Bleacher Report named the Golden Knights as a landing spot for Marchessault if Nashville decides to move on. Advertisement "The Golden Knights don't have much trade capital in high-quality draft picks and prospects to offer up for Marchessault. However, Nashville might be willing to accept a mid-range pick and a prospect simply to get most of his cap hit off its books for the next four years.", Richardson wrote. Nashville Predators center Jonathan Marchessault (81) shoots against the Utah Hockey Club during the first period at Bridgestone Roberts-Imagn Images If the Golden Knights were to bring back Marchessault, the fans would surely approve of the move. Marchessault was loved in Vegas and quickly became one of the cornerstones of the new franchise. The veteran is scheduled to make $5.5 million next season and is on the books for four more years. But while the move would be a little complicated to make happen, if the two sides are determined enough, anything is possible.
