The newest Florida Panther Reilly Smith recently arrived in South Florida, joining teammate Derek MacKenzie and others for informal skates at Florida Panthers IceDen. Acquired from the Boston Bruins on July 1, Smith notched 40 points (13-27—40) in 81 games last season.
With a lot of young guys on this roster, you played against a lot of them last season, while in Boston. What were your thoughts about the Panthers as an opponent?
They were a tough team to play against. Everyone in the league thought that. They were pretty stingy, they put a lot of games into overtime and seemed they were winning a lot in the shootout.
