He has put up seven\u00a0goals and 30\u00a0assists for\u00a037\u00a0career points in 160\u00a0career games. He was originally drafted in the fourth round, 98th\u00a0overall of the 2011\u00a0NHL Draft by the <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonhockey.com\/nhl-teams\/blue-jackets\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Columbus Blue Jackets<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Last season he scored three goals and eight assists for 11 points. He also added 16 minutes in penalties. His possession numbers were 54.6 percent Corsi\u00a0and a relative Corsi of +1.3.<\/p>\n<h2>What This Means for the Future of Mike Reilly<\/h2>\n<p>Reilly was acquired by the Habs in February 2018 in exchange for a fifth-round pick in the 2018 Draft. The Minnesota Wild ended up taking <strong>Matvei Guskov<\/strong> with the 149th overall pick in the Draft in 2018. The two-year deal is perfect as the Habs are still waiting on a few guys like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eliteprospects.com\/player\/201551\/josh-brook\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Josh Brook<\/strong><\/a> to develop. Reilly is a puck-moving defenceman and has seen time on the Habs second and third pairing. However, due to the Habs having a lot of defencemen last year Reilly was a healthy scratch for a handful of games.<\/p>\n<p>In the time that Reilly has been a Hab, he has appeared in 84 games totaling four goals and 14 assists for 18 points. For next season you can expect Reilly to see a little bit more time in the line-up seeing that it&#8217;s unlikely that <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.hockey-reference.com\/players\/b\/bennjo01.html?utm_campaign=Linker&amp;utm_source=direct&amp;utm_medium=linker-\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Jordie Benn<\/a><\/strong> will be on the team\u00a0next season. He could also be a very valuable asset on the powerplay for the Habs next season. It will be interesting to see how much of an asset Reilly is next season on the Habs blueline.<\/p>\n<p><a id=\"KRPag28lR91DkflEIKpaTw\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.com\/detail\/1085537358\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'KRPag28lR91DkflEIKpaTw',sig:'iqBrj-Lh2gR-c6n6wcEmEMPEFOuiB8XGf0uogZMIYis=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1085537358',caption: true ,tld:'com',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Montreal Canadiens have re-signed free agent defenceman Mike Reilly to a two-year contract worth\u00a0$3 million, or $1.5 million per season.
