Over the last few days, trade chatter has picked up regarding a Penguins forward due to their recent play keeping them far away from a playoff spot, and the assumed sellers position.

The Penguins forward involved finally spoke out about the trade rumours linking him to contending teams such as the Vegas Golden Knights and Edmonton Oilers.

Smith speaks out amidst trade rumours



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.»

Smith was sitting in his locker stall and had not yet taken off his skates when he agreed to talk. After calling the rumor baseless, his pause lasted for five seconds. As he shifted in his seat, his arms folded, he was at a loss for words.

Smith has an underwhelming 10 goals in 51 games this season, with a total of 25 points.

The Penguins will be doing a lot of thinking this week as they try to navigate the direction of the organization and whether or not they will trade veteran and recently acquired Reilly Smith.
