To the Habs for a 5th. Not great, but whatever. Best of luck to Reilly.

 

[Dee Oh Cee]

Opens up a spot and keeps Seeler up here. Olofsson to get back into the lineup regularly. Opens up a roster spot for Kunin or Greenway. Thought they might be able to get a 4th, but oh well. Good luck to Mikey.

 

[Wabit]

I wonder if the Habs will try Reilly at center, wing, or d-man.

 

[DANOZ28]

i really liked the way he skated and will be sad to see him go. he takes a few too many chances currently but with the right coaching i think could be a good D man. ps im not an olofsson fan.

 

[Wabit]

Reilly gets the same return as Graovac, a Caps 5th round pick.

I hope Reilly has some thick skin, MTL can be rough on a player. With MTL trading Marrow earlier Reilly should get some decent playing time, and not be pressbox fodder. For his sake I hope he finds some consistency to his game.

I think that is fantastic work by Fletch. He was only a 4th round pick in the first place. Something for nothing. He'll fit right in with this season's Habs.

Montreal’s pick that the Wild got for Reilly was Washington’s too.

 

[Digitalbooya]

Honestly underwhelmed by the return.

 

[57special]

eh, whatever. Can't have a guy like Reilly on the team. Too many mistakes.

 

[Dr Jan Itor]

Really didn't expect a guy like Seeler to make him expendable, but I guess you never know who makes the jump and when.

 

[Minnesota]

Not even mad. Turned a UFA signing into a 5th rounder.

It was a 3rd until last night's game...

It was a 3rd until last night's game...

1 game is going to change a guys value ?

1 game is going to change a guys value ?

I think he was making a little joke, although last night's game was atrocious.

 

[Al Lagoon]

Mikey Reilly's bonehead move vs. the Sharks cost the Wild a round there.

Hand Wes a hankie.

 

[gphr513]

Wasn't expecting too much. 3rd would have been a steal, I think. 4th or 5th is fair.

I'll be rooting for him in Montreal!

 

[Wild11MN]

I was pumped for him to come in and deal on the PP. That never really happened, sadly. Hope he figures it all out, but kinda doubting it.

 

[TaLoN]

Good luck to Reilly, kid has some skill, just forced out by a numbers game amongst prospects.

 

[NonsenseElimination]

He was worth no more than a 5th. You know you are a pretty bad NHL defenseman when Prosser is more reliable than you.

 

[Goose312]

Seems likely if no one traded for him he would have ended up on waivers anyway. My hope was a 4th so not really disappointed with a 5th.

 

[ThatGuy22]

Seems likely if no one traded for him he would have ended up on waivers anyway. My hope was a 4th so not really disappointed with a 5th.

If he wasn't traded, he'd have been here rest of the season. No waivers to the AHL post trade deadline.

He'd have to have been waived yesterday with Stewert.

 

[Taylor26]

gives us an extra 725k in capspace in the offseason as well. Every little bit helps

 

[57special]

That will go straight to Greenway

 

[Marlowe Syn]

I'm just glad he's gone. Anything of value we get in return is gravy. Just didn't read hockey IQ on this kid. Good luck in Montreal kid. You're going to need it.
