    Default Reilly Smith in Vegas

    Curious on what people are thinking about 26 year old Reilly Smith in Vegas this year. He is signed to a new long term, $5M contract and had a down year last year but has shown he is capable of 20-25 goals, 50pts. He's been durable (barely missed any NHL games so far in his career) but has been an up and down type of player.

    I expect him to get a top-six role in Vegas this year and expected to help carry the offensive load. Do many think he will bounce back to that 25G, 50 pt range and find a way to stay there in Vegas?

    I'm a big time skeptic. His two decent seasons featured elevated shooting % and I think he became complacent after signing a new deal. Plus, he doesn't excel on the PP and over the last two seasons he's been used more on the PK. I'm all for the notion that some players do better on expansion teams because they step up - I don't think he fits that bill, and he probably won't even get 45 points this season

    That's how I'd rank the scoring in LGK. But i do think he returns to 55 point range. I can see all 4 above players in the 50-60 range

    I'm not really high on him, he probably settles into being a 45 ish point player

    With Marchessault and Neal ahead of him on the depth chart how many points is realistic for Smith? 38-42 seem pretty realistic?

    Isn't this the whole 'well someone got to score the points' issue with Vegas? Persinally can see him around 50
