Another Player Has Been Pulled From the Lineup for Trade-Related Reasons: Big Announcement Coming in New York
TVA Sports journalist Renaud Lavoie has just announced that a new player has been removed from the lineup due to trade-related reasons.
This is great news for Martin St-Louis and the Montreal Canadiens, as it officially confirms that the New York Rangers (the Habs' closest competitors) are giving up on the playoff race!
Wow.
It will now clearly be a battle between the Detroit Red Wings, the Boston Bruins, the Ottawa Senators, and the Montreal Canadiens for the final playoff spot in the East.
Reilly Smith removed from Rangers' lineup due to a trade
It's worth noting that this is exactly what happened with forward Gustav Nyquist earlier this week, and as expected, he was traded just a few hours later.
So, don't be surprised if Reilly Smith is traded very soon.

This is a very interesting development.

Reilly Smith, 33 years old, has 29 points in 58 games this season with the New York Rangers, after recording 40 points in 76 games last season with the Pittsburgh Penguins.
More details to come.
