Wild: Mike Reilly staying home, but eager to move out

Defenseman Mike Reilly was formally introduced as a member of the Wild on Wednesday, signing a two-year deal that he had agreed to last Friday. He will wear No. 4 with the team.

Reilly, who grew up in Chanhassen and played for the Gophers the past three years, won't have to travel far to visit his brothers, Connor and Ryan, and sister Caitlin, who all play hockey at the U. And he won't have to travel far to visit his parents Mike, a minority investor in the Wild, and Lisa, who still live in Chanhassen.

But Reilly, 21, said he'll try to focus on his first year as a pro hockey player by living on his own.
