Confirmed with Link: Isles Claim Mike Reilly

[benedictTavares]

he is not absolute dogsht which is an upgrade to this dcorps.

 

[redbull]

way better than I expected. Mobile, confident - let's see as time goes by. Bortuzzo looked a bit tentative/nervous with the puck

.....Is Mike Reilly good? Cause he looks like it.

Idk why he is fitting here vs other places, maybe a good combo of fitting in with the players and being comfortable and also playing for his next contract

There’s a cover for every pot.

I think the islanders are an easy team to play for. It’s just the 3rd period where they have to protect a lead gets them confused.

Quite possible the honeymoon stage wears off but I can’t believe this guy was on waivers. $1,000,000. Looks like a heck of a pickup.

I love this guy . He’s 30 and only played 350 ish games . Certainly not burnt out yet . Come on Lou ( not 7 years please ) but offer this guy 3 x 1.5 right now like tonight please.

when Johnny Boychuk played his 30 year old season he only had about 320 NHL games. Mark Streit only played 220 NHL games same age .


sign this kid up for a couple yearrs

Reilly is a very welcome addition. Not great but super good for a team that needed speed.

 

[Suffolkbull3]

i have to say i am becoming a pretty big fan of this guy…. i love the way he skates with the puck, i love the way he jumps up on the play in the offensive end.. i just dont understand why no team claimed him?!?! he had a momentary lapse when he gave the breakaway up vs the kings but other than that hes been pretty damn solid! im thinking this is what they were looking to get out of aho?

 

[Symon Asher]

Great Skater. Seems to be out of position in the defensive zone. Looks like he is playing man to man while the rest of the team is playing zone defense

 

[Lights911]

Reilly has bounced around quite a bit but he's been relatively solid at each stop. His skill set is something this team and defensive core were lacking and hopefully, Lane will continue to play him when they get healthy.

7y x 2.5m

This is turning out to be a really smart pickup. Good work Lou.

Bruins fan coming in peace. Glad to see Reilly is working out for you guys.

He looked great with the Bruins after the deadline, signed 3x3 and went downhill from there.

He is great with the puck on his stick, the concern has always been in his own end. Saw a post above about him getting lost in coverage, that happened a lot and when defending he took a lot of stick infraction penalties with us.

Either way seems like a nice value pickup for you guys, glad he’s doing well and not buried in the AHL.

Btw you guys got a horse in Dobson

Great value out of a waiver pickup so far.

He’s exactly what the doc ordered and even if he does revert back, once Mayfield, Pulock and Pelech come back he’s the 6th guy anyway and you deal with that 6th guy taking lumps anyway. Just the fact that we’re down guys and he’s stepping up now makes it all worth it

I wanted to give you a second "like" for your avatar. It's outrageous, egregious and preposterous.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Finally had a bad game, now we know. All good, figure it out and get back to it

4x 1.5 full NMC incoming from Lou
