Vegas Golden Knights reacquired winger Reilly Smith in a deal with the New York Rangers.
The Rangers also acquired Carson Soucy from Vancouver.
The Rangers are retaining half of what's left of Smith's salary and getting young forward Brendan Brisson and a 2025 third-round pick — previously belonging to last-place San Jose — back from Vegas.
Hours later, they sent that pick to Vancouver for Carson Soucy, a left-shooting defensemen under contract through next season who effectively replaces Ryan Lindgren after he was sent to Colorado.
Another player who fell out of favor with the Rangers, Smith has been traded to Pittsburgh, to New York and back to Vegas since helping the Golden Knights win the Cup in 2023 as an alternate captain and original member of the expansion franchise.
