Player Discussion Mike Reilly

[The Great Weal]

19 games is an insignificant sample size.

Yet he still produced more than Beaulieu

What would it take to get Beaulieu back? If it's nothing he may be ready to listen after a tough year and his skating is elite.

A lobotomy.

Management was obviously done with him. Guy is dumb as a rock defensively and supposedly trouble off the ice. Would help the tank though

 

[Fixxer]

Was considered by Julien the best defenseman in a pre-season game.

 

[Mike Mike Caron]

Riely will always make dumb defensive plays, but contrary to Brolieu, he really knows what to do with the puck.

Arrow is pointing up, way up for Mike Reilly.

I'm sure he sees the opportunity in front of him.

 

[1909]

Reilly-Mete-Schlemko.... Alzner.... The left side of the D looks (a bit) better this season.

 

[Fazkovsky]

Just need to work on his shot but this kid has skills

 

[Hostile Offer]

He's no Markov, obviously, but we definitely lacked a guy with his tools last year. Really glad he seems to be putting it together.

 

[montreal]

As i've been saying he was real standout player in the NCAA but his decision making in his own end means he needs someone very solid to be partnered with like Weber. Sucks that he's injured as I think he would be an ideal match.

 

[Et le But]

I still am skeptical about him but we need players like him, so now is definitely his chance.

 

[Andrei79]

Bergevin paid a lot more for Benn than Reilly. Tough to believe.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Reilly - Petry
Mete - Juulsen
Alzner - Schlemko

should be the pairings

Its time to move on from Beaulieu. Theres simply nothing to imply that he has the hockey IQ or puck skills to produce at the NHL level. In Reilly's short time here he was shown that he is what we wanted Beaulieu to be.

 

[Prairie Habs]

Bergevin paid a lot more for Benn than Reilly. Tough to believe.

But if we pretend that pateryn signed in minny before Reilly was traded, rather than after, then mb looks like a genius. He sent pateryn away, knowing he would go to the wild, making Reilly expendable.

 

[mariolemieux66]

Rielly would be an ideal bottom pairing guy, but because our LD side is awful, he his playing in the top 4. Rielly will need to produce on the PP a little more this year.

 

[57special]

Reilly definitely has the physical tools to be a top 4 PMD who can also man the PP. The question is whether or not he learns from his mistakes, and becomes somewhat competent defensively. Some guys just need some seasoning, others just never get it. I don't know which Reilly is. He was only moved on from MN because he was out of minor league options and they didn't really have room for him on anything but the bottom pairing at best. He was never going to break into the Wild top 4.

For the price you guys paid, Reilly is a pretty enticing lottery ticket. I think his ceiling is as an offensive minded 2nd pairing guy on an average team.

 

[DramaticGloveSave]

Reilly really is blossoming for us. Guy has always had a ton of talent, and it really seems as though he's putting it together. Perfect timing for us.

 

[Habs]

Whatever helps the tank, I'll support.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

He's certainly making a case for himself in the pre-season. Julien seems to be taking notice too, he's played him a ton. I can't see a scenario right now where he's not on the starting lineup when the season starts.

 

[BIG GIFS]

I thought he was our best defenseman yesterday with Mete and Juulsen.

[cphabs]

Thank you again!!!!!!!!!

 

[JianYang]

I think there is some offensive potential in mete that is untapped. He's another one that could benefit from the ahl, but will probably start in the NHL.

I mean, he won't look out of place in the NHL,but I think his offensive production will never meet what he is capable of if we don't give him time in the A.
