Canadiens explore PTO options for UFA forward Reilly Smith

The Montreal Canadiens may consider offering a professional tryout (PTO) contract to veteran forward Reilly Smith. After a season with the Vegas Golden Knights where he recorded 16 goals and 26 points over 69 games, Smith remains unsigned. He previously performed better, averaging 40 points in the two seasons before last. The Canadiens seek to bolster their roster depth and adding Smith could offer experience and secondary scoring potential for the team's bottom six. The team's training camp is forthcoming, providing an opportunity for players on PTOs to secure contracts.
