New York Rangers newest addition Reilly Smith, a star or just a misfit?

GM Chris Drury didn't make too many big moves this summer.

But one of them was acquiring former Stanley Cup winning forwards, Reilly Smith from the Pittsburgh Penguins for a late-round draft pick.

Reilly Smith was considered a misfit, like many of the unwanted players who ended up in Vegas, after left exposed by his team at the time, the Florida Panthers.

Smith would prove to be a solid addition, and after 6 years and two-trips to the Stanley Cup finals, he'd secure the prize in 2023.

However, he hasn't only been a member of the Florida Panthers, Vegas Golden Knights, and Pittsburgh Penguins. He's been on the Dallas Stars and Boston Bruins as well.

So how did five teams, and the Penguins end up moving on from Smith?

Well, Stanl Fischler of the Hockey News asked Pittsburgh Penguins insider Vince Communale.

Smith would later only collect 2 points in 7 games, from November 6th to December 15th.

Smith would finish the season with a +3 for the year, only ending two seasons with a negative rating during his entire career.
