He was obviously not going to play much with us anymore. Fluid skater, 0 hockey IQ. Can be a decent depth player on a rebuilding team

 

[General Disarray]

Is he their Gallagher replacement?

 

[WannabeFinn]

I remember when I was actually a little sad he didn’t sign with us. Hah.

 

[Chainshot]

Is he their Gallagher replacement?

More like a Dale Weiss replacement one day.

 

[MarkovsKnee]

Not surprised. He can't get into the Canadiens lineup. Chiarot, Kulak and Mete are our LD and Romanov is here next year.

He's signed for an additional year too. Habs desperately need AHL forwards. There are a ton of forward injuries at both the NHL and AHL level.

We paid a 5th to Minnesota to get him.

Oh, and Sturtz would be included to even out the contracts too.

 

[Qward]

ok

 

[orkid]

Have Ottawa and Montreal ever made a trade together before?

 

[Sens72]

Meh

 

[HOPE]

I remember when Reilly was a top 4 D according to Habs fans, what ever happened?

he played like for for a 10 game stint lol.

Last one was in 2001. Andreas Dackell for an 8th round pick.

 

[Halakitlikethat]

Reilly is a good skater, decent offensively at times but nothing between the ears

 

[bleuetbio]

Reilly was pretty good, probably one of the best add at his trade moment. Problem is he cannot find the constant like Desmond did in Lost

 

[Pinto22]

This must meen that zaitsev, demelo or hainsey aren't close to coming back for whatever reason. Just guessing.

 

[Runner77]

Sturtz 5’8 bottom sixer. Fits right in.

 

[super6646]

Right... right. Super megaton trade. Trade OF THE DECADE so far!

 

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

It's strange to say but Ottawa is making A LOT of smart moves over the past year, Karlsson trade, Duclair trade, this trade

 

[Filthy Dangles]

How does anyone remember usernames to this extent?

1) I spend way too much time on this site

2) when such an outlandish thread is made, and was bumped several times, you generally note who the OP was

 

[GKJ]

Senators needed an other pro defenseman, Chabot doesn't need to be playing this much.

Andreas Dackell for an 8th round pick, looks like that may be the only one?

Dorion is actually an okay gm hampered by the worst owner in the league. He does well here and there.

 

[MXD]

And you proclaimed Nikita Zaitsev was the best UFA signing ever or Justin Holl is breaking out as an impact top-4D ...maybe all fans equally overrate their players at times.

To be honest, Reilly did play like a Top-4 D for about 10 games last season (at the beginning of the season).

He shouldn't play on a regular basis for an NHL team, and good thing for Reilly, that's not where he's headed.

 

[Just Linda]

Montreal got Reilly for a 5th, they lost him a couple years later for a 5th. So essentially the last two years of him was free value.

You could say the cost was missing the playoffs twice with Carey Price in his prime.

.... we're 5pts behind you guys, and have two top 5 lottery picks and 5 young ppg forwards in the AHL

 

[edguy]

Injuries now. So Rielly helps with that immediately.

But also we are likely to trade at least 2 if not 3 of Hainsey, DeMelo, Boroweicki.

So he can help next year too.

I like the deal
