I'm surprised, but why not I guess

 

[Zorba]

Gotta spend the cap somewhere

 

[le_sean]

Ew why.

Seriously though at $1.5m he’s great depth. But now you have to carry him and Folin on the team if you want to upgrade the defence.

 

[Runner77]

1.5M AAV.

 

[MSLs absurd thighs]

Awful, ridiculous deal. For f*** sake. How could this guy even fetch a one-way contract?

 

[A55P2]

Happy about that. Low risk, high reward. Maybe he can still put it all together. There were stretches last season when he took things with a bit more precaution and he did great then. I hope he can be consistent next year. Otherwise, he'll be alright as a 7th D for that pricetag.

 

[JoelWarlord]

Why is he getting an over 100% raise and 2 years. Just give the guy his QO.

 

[Whitesnake]

Sure. We should keep Benn too. And try to get Morrow and Beaulieu back too. Is Streit still playing?

 

[Andy]

Awful, ridiculous deal. For **** sake.

1.5 isn't that much cap commitment.

 

[davey999]

Geez. We really are bringing back the exact same team! Awesome.

Weber, Mete, Petry, Kulak, Reilly, Juulsen, Folin. Ouch

 

[Deebs]

Decent as a 7th D man

 

[JuicyHam]

Unexpected but hey give him another chance I guess. Was surprised he didn't play at all towards the end of the year.

 

[Whitesnake]

Happy about that. Low risk, high reward. Maybe he can still put it all together. There were stretches last season when he took things with a bit more precaution and he did great then. I hope he can be consistent next year. Otherwise, he'll be alright as a 7th D for that pricetag.

How many 7 D are we at right now?

He was a healthy scratch for most of the second half...

 

[Fazkovsky]

We love them puck moving lhd

That's what I don't get.

Bring him back fine...but the raise?

I know it's not cap crippling or anything.

 

[Whitesnake]

Weber, Mete, Petry, Kulak, Reilly, Juulsen, Folin. Ouch

No need to upgrade. Stability is key. Says..nobody.

 

[donghabs98]

I'm surprised Rielly got a 2 year deal let alone come back

 

[MSLs absurd thighs]

1.5 isn't that much cap commitment.

1.5 for Reilly. 1.3 for Peca. 2.35 for Weise. That's a whole lot of f***ing money combined on spare parts. Those guys could all be replaced with guys on two-way contracts or sub-1M players.

Awful, ridiculous deal. For **** sake. How could this guy even fetch a one-way contract?

It’s not ridiculous. Do you remember the Habs playing Ouellet, Schlemko, Alzner last season? I’d much rather insert Reilly into the lineup if someone is hurt. Folin as a decent #8.

I’ll criticize the deal if they don’t upgrade at LD and Reilly plays full time. Otherwise this is good.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

happy with that
He was our best defenseman in the first 1/3 of the season and looked good playing with juulsen

 

[ThaDevilGirl]

Trust the process

Not for 1.5
