[Alexandrov]

Wow, that's a surprise. I thought he'd sign with Chicago for sure

 

[Granlund 64]

We beat Chicago, we beat Chicago!!

 

[gphr513]

Woo!

Nice

 

[Circulartheory]

YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA a

 

[Engebretson]

 

[keppel146]

Yay!!!!!! That should affect the draft. Forwards and more forwards

 

[TZM]

Wohhoooo!

 

[Avder]

Spiffy neato!

 

[Circulartheory]

Yay!!!!!! That should affect the draft. Forwards and more forwards

I said we could use dman in first. Now **** it!

 

[Engebretson]

Only downer is we'll be hated by Columbus fans for awhile, or at least when Reilly plays them.

On the plus side, this now forces Chicago to their Plan B to climbing out of Cap Hell. Reilly would have worked perfectly for them to add a young, affordable asset on their blue line. I'm sure they'll be gifted with some other trade that Bowman is able to pull out of his bum, but at least they can't have Reilly!!!

 

[Wild11MN]

Sweet. Can't complain about free assets, even if he doesn't turn out great.

 

[MK9]

Wow, that's a surprise. I thought he'd sign with Chicago for sure

Yeah, I'm floored as well. Thought for sure he'd go there.

 

[gphr513]

Sweet. Can't complain about free assets, even if he doesn't turn out great.

Yep. Any production from him whatsoever is gravy!

 

[Granlund 64]

FWIW the title should be "chooses" and not "signs." He hasn't signed anything.

Scandella Dumba

Fair enough

 

[Saga of the Elk]

It's good news for Michael Paliotta and Stephen Johns and Tevor van Riemsdyk among other Hawks prospects who had good college careers and could possibly make the NHL squad now. I'm sure that's part of the reason that Reilly didn't choose Chicago.

Not sure he's a great fit for the Wild, but certainly makes trading Spurgeon less of an awful idea. I like what I've seen from Reilly, I think he needs AHL time.

 

[Minnesota]

That's good news!

Expected him to sign with Chicago.
