Canadiens meeting with free agent defenseman Mike Reilly

The Canadiens are on a list of nine teams interested in Mike Reilly, so who is he?

Earlier in the summer, Mike Reilly let it be known that he was leaving college hockey and intended to become an unrestricted free agent after being drafted by the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2011. Columbus is still in the mix, though they now have to contend with eight other teams vying for his services. According to Bob McKenzie, the Montreal Canadiens are one of them.

So who exactly is Mike Reilly?

Drafted in the fourth round of the 2011 NHL Entry Draft out of Shattuck St.
