An Autographed Photo of No. 18 Reilly Smith!

Former Florida Panther - Reilly Liam Sheeran Smith (born April 1, 1991) is a Canadian professional ice hockey right winger currently playing for the Vegas Golden Knights of the National Hockey League (NHL). He was drafted in the third round, 69th overall, by the Dallas Stars in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft. He is the younger brother of current New York Rangers defenceman Brendan Smith.

On March 25, 2012, Smith forwent his final year at Miami to year to sign a three-year, entry-level contract with the Dallas Stars. He played three games for the Stars to finish the 2011–12 season. During the 2012–13 NHL lockout, Smith played for Dallas' American Hockey League (AHL) affiliate, the Texas Stars. He was promoted to Dallas for the season once play resumed in January 2013 and scored his first career NHL goal on February 15, 2013, against Cory Schneider of the Vancouver Canucks.

In July 2013, Smith was included in a blockbuster trade between Dallas and the Boston Bruins, which sent him, Loui Eriksson, Joe Morrow and Matt Fraser to Boston in exchange for Tyler Seguin, Rich Peverley and Ryan Button. On April 5, 2014, the New England Sports Network (NESN) TV network named Smith the 45th annual "7th Player". The "7th Player" is awarded to the Boston Bruin who most exceeded all expectations that season, as voted by the team's fans. 

On July 1, 2015, Smith was traded by the Bruins, along with Marc Savard's contract, to the Florida Panthers in exchange for Jimmy Hayes. On July 3, 2016, Smith signed a five-year, $25 million contract extension with the Panthers.

On June 21, 2017, the Panthers traded Reilly Smith at the 2017 NHL Expansion Draft to the Vegas Golden Knights due to salary cap issues. Both him and his teammate, Jonathan Marchessault were acquired by the Golden Knights with the Panthers receiving a fourth-round pick in 2018. During his tenure in Florida, Smith had 87 points in 162 games.

The Florida Panthers are a professional ice hockey team based in Sunrise, Florida, in the Miami metropolitan area. They are members of the Southeast Division of the Eastern Conference of the National Hockey League.
