Reilly Smith was a victim of the trade rumour whirl over the last week, after his questionable stinct so far in Pittsburgh and being linked to the team that traded him this summer, the reigning Stanley Cup champions, the Vegas Golden Knights.
He commented the following:
«I mean, I'd say it's pretty baseless,» Smith said before a lengthy pause. «Just baseless opinions of people.»
