Stan is clueless for trying to trade Smith? What???

i personally thinking it has more to do with Smith salary and terms....... this team is needing to start planning for making moves to rid themselves of their problem.

plus again he is not fit to be making these kind of GM moves....

Package him with Perlini (or Sikura) and see if anybody bites. If not.. attach a draft pick. Getting him out with an extra year left on his deal as well as him sucking is a win-win.

They did that when they traded Anisimov for Smith.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

Literally means nothing. Call me when they announce a full rebuild is what is needed.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Smith for Gagner. Send Gagner to Rockford. Gets rid of the extra year, and is cap neutral.

 

[BobbyJet]

It would explain why Smith played today.

yeah i know and i hated the trade at the time and said so. i was clueless to that move.

i understood the reason, but not the terms of the trade.

time to add some young prospect to help sweeten the pkg.

the problem is, the Bhawks system is looking really good in the future.

no they do not need that.

 

[JaegerDice]

Zack Smith sucks at hockey.

 

[Hattrick Kane]

no they do not need that.

Whatever you say Rocky.

i wish.... if anyone remember me and my disdain for SB..... he would have been fired 2-3 yrs ago.

good play good sir.

The rumor’s actual source: https://ottawasun.com/sports/hockey/nhl/ottawa-senators/garrioch-game-report-4

A name that has surfaced on the NHL’s trade market: Former Senators centre Zack Smith. He has been hampered by a back issue after being dealt to the Chicago Blackhawks for Artem Anisimov in July and has only suited up for five games. He’s seeing spot duty with an average of 9:52 of ice time. Smith has a $3.25-million cap hit that runs through next season. The market for him would be limited. …

Ottawa Sun has some credibility. They provided a lot of insider news around Stone and Karlsson trades. Though I'm not sure who their ties with the Hawks would be. Smith's agent?

Unless they trade him for Ovi it’s another irrelevant player that will bring back nothing of value. Yawn.....

If this keeps up I wonder how long it takes for players to start asking to be traded. Maybe that’s the strategy, suck so bad the guys with the NMC’s will want to leave and waive them.

More about the cap space than anything else.

Especially with it looking like Dach may be there to stay.

Why on earth would anyone trade for a worthless AHL caliber player getting paid $3.5M?

To acquire a pick and/or prospect if you’re a team that’s not competing and not up against the cap.
