Thanks to Goffie for the deal.

Wow lotsa moola for Mr Reilly!

[Goffie]

I was hoping Rielly would be the guy for us on the blueline, both this season and long term. We are in the thick of the playoff race and will be making whatever changes we need to get there, Morgan wasnt helping us win right now so we shipped him out.

[Harry Lime]

Did Scorp just turn his first into Sean Couturier and Morgan Reilly?

[TheScorpion]

Maaaybe. Got Mittelstadt out of it, too.
