No Reilly for Chicago.
Top college free agent Mike Reilly will sign an entry-level contract with the Minnesota Wild, reports Michael Russo of the Star Tribune. The Chicago Blackhawks, Los Angeles Kings and Pittsburgh Penguins were also finalists to land the young defenseman, who was considered one of the top available players on the market.
Reilly is expected to sign a two-year, $1.85 million contract with the Wild that includes additional incentives, per Russo. The former star at the University of Minnesota, who earned Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year honors last season, became a free agent on June 16 and met with as many as 10 teams.
