Three teams that have emerged as possible landing spots for Rangers veteran forward Reilly Smith
Minnesota Wild
The Minnesota Wild have been named a team to watch in the Smith sweeptakes, as they could desperately use another middle-six winger and veteran with playoff experience.
Along with that he could even replace Vinnie Hinostroza on the second line and would easily be an option for their power play unit with his playmaking skills.
Los Angeles Kings
Next would be the Kings, a team who have been looking to improve at the right wing position, so Smith could be a player who grabs their attention.
Providing their organization with a middle six forward who has plenty of postseason experience, and someone who can put up points as he currently has 10 goals and 16 assists in 54 games played.
Vegas Golden Knights
Now finally, his former team the Golden Knights. Recently there has been a ton of speculation of Reilly returning to the team he previously won a Stanley Cup and spent six-years of his career with.
The 33-year old winger would certainly provide the Knights with a much needed right-winger.
