I don't even care all that much about the fight but people are throwing around the term short-sighted all while completely dismissing what's actually happened and the impact that it had on the team moving fwd this year.

In the past, when a player has come into camp "out of shape", it usually meant it will take said player a few weeks to catch up with the rest of his team mates in the fitness dept and be ready for games.

Hell..Let's just for arguments sake give Smith an entire bye month to get ready to play which is more then generous when he's supposed to be ready in day 1 of TC.

Since he easily surpassed that, let's fast fwd.

In 44 games and 10 scratches later, he still couldn't get his head out of his ass.

Even players that miss months of playing time due to injury have a better recovery time than Smith.

You're being extremely naive to fall for this wedding excuse IMO.

I mean what did he do?
Did he strap a barrel of vodka onto his back and hook up an IV for an entire summer?

This signing should've been a top 4 plug and play.
Throw him out on the ice with Skjei or Shattenkirk and have at it.

Instead we got a clown that isn't worthy of the jersey.

What a crock of shit..
