Vegas Golden Knights general manager Kelly McCrimmon is putting the band back together, at least somewhat.
On Thursday, the Golden Knights completed a trade with the New York Rangers to bring forward Reilly Smith back to Vegas. The Rangers receive forward Brendan Brisson and the San Jose Sharks’ 2025 third-round pick in the deal. New York is also retaining half of Smith’s salary.
