Original Post: Per Josh Yohe, the New York Rangers and Pittsburgh Penguins, not always known for liking each other, are talking a potential Reilly Smith trade. Both teams have been rather quiet as free agent frenzy has seen another quarter of a billion dollars dished out, and this trade would be the first major move for either team.
Smith is a good RW that the Rangers desperately need with Mika Zibanejad and Chris Kreider, and has just one year and $5 million left on his deal, a short term fit the Rangers are looking for.
Update: This has been confirmed. Draft picks appear to be the return.
