Toronto Maple Leafs general manager Kyle Dubas made it clear Saturday that the acquisition of forward Ryan O'Reilly from the St. Louis Blues was a move meant to aid in their pursuit of a Stanley Cup.
After news of the Maple Leafs trading for O'Reilly broke Friday night, Dubas told reporters:
"The team has been in the top five in the standings [before]; we're there again this year. When you're there, your goal I think has to be that you're trying to win. And if you're trying to win, you're trying to win the Stanley Cup.
