A major development has surfaced regarding the New York Rangers trading veteran forward Reilly Smith, as the 33-year has been expected to be traded over the last few days.
The New York Rangers have recently made veteran forward Reilly Smith a healthy scratch for Sunday night's game and Monday night's game for «roster management», but several reports have confirmed it is related to trade reasonings.
#NYR Reilly Smith will not play tonight vs. Predators for roster management purposes
Rangers holding out Reilly Smith from tonight's game for trade deadline reasons. Pending UFA could be dealt before Friday's deadline.
Major development has surfaced as Reilly Smith didn't attend the Rangers practice
It has been confirmed that Reilly Smith will be held out of the New York Rangers lineup once again as the Rangers are preparing to take on the Islanders. However at the moment still no trade has been made.
It's likely that Reilly Smith will be a healthy scratch for tonight's game as the New York Rangers will take on the Washington Capitals, as the veteran didn't even attend the Rangers morning practice.
#NYR morning skate is underway. Chris Kreider is on the ice. Reilly Smith is not.
As the NHL Trade Deadline is only 48 hours away it will be interesting to see what General Manager Chris Drury will pull off for the New York Rangers.
The 33-year old forward has been a solid player for the New York Rangers this season as he has managed to tally 10 goals and 19 assists for a total of 29 points in 58 games played.
