What Does Mike Reilly Bring to the Minnesota Wild?

Though the Wild signed Devan Dubnyk, Ryan Carter, and Nate Prosser this offseason, defenseman Mike Reilly currently is the only new addition to the Wild for next season. While some of you know Reilly from his years at the University of Minnesota, those of us who are not college junkies have some questions about him. What kind of player is he? What's his potential as an NHL Defenseman?

To find out the answers to these questions (and more), we turn to one of the writers who've followed Reilly closely. Nate Wells has covered the University of Minnesota men's and women's teams since 2011, and offered to contribute his unique insight on Reilly, for which we are quite grateful.
