Confirmed Trade: [MTL/OTT] Mike Reilly for 2021 5th round pick and Andrew Sturtz

[BLNY]

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

He had a spell last year where it appeared he could be. It got him the 2 year contract. He skates well, has a decent pass, but he's Beaulieu without the physical edge.

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

No, the 5th round pick nor Mikey Reilly are responsible for that

he played like for for a 10 game stint lol.

not a habs fan but he looked damn good in those games

 

[robsenz]

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

This one stings the most, Sturtz is legit, he's going to score 40 goals in the NHL one day.

Reilly has a good o-game but he's a dumpster fire defensively. Still has potential if he can clean up his defensive game.

There was a radio guy (Martin Lemay) saying he'd try him as a sheltered 6th defenseman. Plays little minutes, but mostly on the offense zone starts and on PP if he's helpful there.

yea he definitely has offensive talent

what happened to Sturtz last year that he played in only 15 games?

Sens have a million hurt defensemen. This is purely a short term move.

his brain

ACL, broken foot, and high ankle sprain in succession.

Sens have a million hurt defensemen. This is purely a short term move.

Reilly has 1-yr left. Boro, DeMelo, Hainsey, Goloubef and Englund could all very well be gone by the summer. I think it is a move for the next 1.5yrs that will allow them more flexibility with moving their UFAs.

 

[Edgy]

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

We suck, so congrats on being on the same level of bad lol

 

[PoutineSp00nZ]

Depth defenseman to eat some minutes on ottawas depleted blueline.

Not much to see here

 

[Sens9292]

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.

Might want to check your team first.

 

[Gaylord Q Tinkledink]

If Reilly has confidence he will look good. He loses it fast and has a really hard time getting it back

That pretty much describes him. He could sure look good on short stints and then brain cramps start to plague him.

 

[Simplicity]

No, the 5th round pick nor Mikey Reilly are responsible for that

Imagine trying to acquire good players instead of being so excited about two free years of Mike Reilly.

Imagine trying to acquire good players instead of being so excited about two free years of Mike Reilly.

Imagine being able to process more than one idea at a time, it's almost as a good decision can be analyzed separately from other not good decisions a GM makes.

? Mike Reilly did that?

 

[KingPuckChoo]

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

are you a DAD!?

 

[JuJu Mobb]

Mike Reilly plays like he has no brakes and has the habit of shooting the puck high and wide. No defensive awareness whatsoever.

Good riddance.

 

[Hostile Offer]

Reilly played like an Erik Karlsson lite to start last season. Wheels fell off pretty quickly after that and we saw why Minnesota dumped him towards us in the first place. He can be exciting to watch, although most of the time for the wrong reasons.

 

[Karl Eriksson]

They can make this cost neutral by trading him next year at the deadline for a 5th.

A depth defenseman pickup for Ottawa here IMO.
