Confirmed with Link: Isles Claim Mike Reilly

i think the theme should be “let’s see how they do tonight” @Strummergas

If that isn't the most milquetosast quote around here ever.

So, in 25 years like 800 players have hit the waiver wire, and there’s maybe a dozen that were worth the pickup…

 

[The Real JT]

The best thing about this move is that Lou’s desperation level has gone from DEFCON 1 to DEFCON 2.

We’re not out of the woods yet.

 

[IslesNorway]

It’s a no risk move. He’ll be waived again within a month and at worst will be playing for Bridgeport.

Ha. If that's too disappointing, I'll see if I can adopt the persona of a fictional movie character and craft a 2,000 word diatribe instead.

Not necessary. We already have people who do that.

I guess picking up someones junk is better than......


our junk?

Like a garage sale right? Something to do on a Saturday. What do you know , today is Saturday

Kid has some hands....

 

[crashthenet]

He's a better Aho. Hopefully this is the Aho replace part.

Nice move, but yuck at having to hear Jack Edwards play-by-play.

 

[periferal]

I have no idea if Reilly is even better than Hutton at this point. As already said….Even decent NHL players rarely hit waivers. At least somewhat telling that no teams ahead of the Isles in the waiver order took him.

That said the Isles needed to improve their D even if everyone was healthy. So if Lou didn’t take a chance on Reilly given the D got decimated last night that would have really been something.

Hopefully Aho returns soon to prove the naysayers wrong. 8)

I see that Reilly was in the AHL most of last season and played only 10 games with the Bruins - not sure if some of that was cap-related though. But the year before he played 70 games with the Bs with 19 minutes TOI per game. With only 2 NHL games this year it might take him a few games to get up to speed, whatever his speed is. I'd think 10 mins TOI give or take to start?

I know nothing about this player but assume his body temperature is 97+ so, yay.

Two more points and he will be tied with Pulock for second most defensemen points on the team…already.

His offense is not a complete surprise but he has defended a little better than I expected. A little physicality to boot.

 

[The Winter Soldier]

He impressed me last night, he can lug the puck out as well as Leddy did. That has been missing from this team. Nice cheap pick up. I think they need to make room for him.

Have not seen him for a long period of time but his stats line does not surprise me. 4pts in 7 games even plus minus.

Nice 6th or 7th D man.

 

[Throttle]

The Isles needed a transition guy. He can do it for now, with warts, but better than having no transition.

 

[Tres Peleches]

I like Mike
