After one season with the Nailers, Reid signed with the Florida Everblades for the 2009-2010 season.
During the season, he was called up to the Albany River Rats of the American Hockey League for 9 games. He remained with the Everblades during the 2010-2011 season, but missed the majority of the season due to injuries.
