Agent: FA defenseman Mike Reilly to meet with 8 teams at Draft combine

Another college free agent appears to be in high demand.

21-year-old Mike Reilly, who is exploring his options after deciding not to sign with the Columbus Blue Jackets, will meet with upwards of eight teams at the NHL Draft combine this week in Buffalo, agent Pat Brisson told Elliotte Friedman of Sportsnet.

Selected 98th overall by Columbus at the 2011 NHL Draft, Reilly - a left-handed shot - spent the past three seasons at the University of Minnesota, posting six goals and 36 assists in 39 games during the 2014-15 season.

Reilly also represented Team USA at the World Championship, recording one assist in 10 games.

Friedman asserts a belief that the Chicago Blackhawks, Los Angeles Kings, and Minnesota Wild are in the mix to obtain his services.
