Called himself as a power-forward. Wright mentioned he is good on the net. Skating issues.
Future Tomas Holmström-type at maximum.

Is that Fargo Force just weaker or more defensive team?
O'Reilly is 4th best scorer there, even though he is scoring less per game.
Last season he was only 7th best scorer in Madison, even though he scored more points per game.
He has been ok from what I have seen. If anything he actually looks a bit bigger if that is even possible. Skating is still the big, big issue. It looks a bit better but is obviously still a weakness. While he has really heavy feet and an ugly posture, he does have a pretty good motor and does actively move his feet and pursue the play which is good.
ROR is very much a long-term prospect. He isn't going to jump up the prospect rankings overnight.

I really hope that he stays all 4 years at college, develops well, and then joins the Wings.
Why is this important?
Because we need the second wave guys on that time period, when our Elite-core ELCs will end. Like 2019 1st pick, Zadina, Veleno etc. When those guys will get their pricy 2nd contracts, which is usually the biggest payrise on their career, we need these 22-aged college guys to jump in with a cheap ELC.
Then we can keep the same-aged core together under cap, and their careers peak together. That's how contender is born.
Then the positive circle starts rolling, everybody will want to join us because we are good again. We can trade from surplus to fix roster holes when UFAs are calling for Yzerman etc etc.

Looking through the depth chart, what is the story on O'Reilly? Is he out of hockey? Last update on the ASU hockey website shows season stats for 2021-22.

Thanks. Are we signing him or are we likely to let him become a free agent? Based on his stats my guess is it's the latter.

Quite sure he'll be let walk.
Usually signed guys are almost point per game Top line players. Still nothing about Mastrosimone.
He's a 3rd liner there.
