Confirmed Signing with Link: [BOS] Bruins sign Craig Smith (3 years, $3.1M AAV)

I like it. Solid signing but the forwards seem to be a little over inflated, who will go?

With Krug leaving do they bump up Vaak/Zboril or do they sign another player to fill the offensive gap or let McAvoy run the pp?

So many questions.

Cassidy mused about 5 forwards on the PP... they gave up the most shorties in the league with Krug...why not!

If both smith and hall were coming in, I'd be all the more comfortable trading debrusk

Absolutely, now Boston have a 12.3 millions in salary cap, have to sign Gryzlik for what 2.5 mil? Maybe Hall, for what, 8 mil for 5-6 years can be a deal? Have to trade Debrusk + Moore cap dump for an effective big body left D...

this a nice deal

This guy scores almost all his goals around 10ft away from the net. LOVE THIS signing. Exactly what we need. Now let's add another piece.

Might end up being the best value of any signing when it's all said and done.

He will be frustrating at times as he tends to score in bulk and then go cold for a month, but he plays hard. Not really a good special teams guy either so he does have that knock.

Good luck Crazy Legs.

It's weird seeing my team sign a deal that receives seemingly universal praise from all fanbases...This signing doesn't really excite me but I'm definitely happy with it.

This is a very smart signing; something the Bruins have been missing for a while.

Now their LD is still in shambles, not sure how they would be able to fix that mess.
