Minnesota Wild: Top Five Prospects in the Organization

1. Mike Reilly

Free Agent; 2015

Okay so maybe Mike Reilly is not technically a prospect, but being that he has not suited up for the Wild yet, I wanted to shed some light on him. I love defensemen who bring an offensive aspect to their game, and Mike Reilly certainty is capable of doing that. Reilly has a tremendous shot from the point, and basically was the quarterback of the offense for the University of Minnesota last year. Reilly has the potential to be the corner stone of the franchise in a couple years, while playing for his home town team.

"“Growing up, going to games, kind of the back of your mind, you sit there and kind of dream about a little bit of potentially playing here,” Reilly said. “But I definitely did not predict it to actually happen.”"
