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

[Troublesome 85]

Was hoping to wake up to Hall

 

[Waivers]

Great player to compliment Bruins hockey.

 

[Dadof5boys]

Great deal for the Bruins! I wish we could have kept Smitty; he doesn’t take shifts off.

 

[Eggtimer]

Holy crap that’s a great deal for the Bruins . I was wanting him in the Devils . Contract looks very team friendly

 

[BostonBruins11]

Bruins Top 9 wingers
RW: Pastrnak/Smith/Kase
LW:Marchand/Debrusk/???? (currently Bjork/Ritchie)
Do they go for Hall?

 

[Chipdagger]

I wanted him on the habs you need guys like that

 

[Hitemwith4]

Bruins 2nd line RW ?

 

[Mpasta]

Bruins 2nd line RW ?

At this point, he could be on any of the top 3 lines depending on how the coach makes the lines.

 

[BLNY]

Seems like excellent value.

 

[Em etah Eh]

I can't deny its good value at 3 x 3.1. Thats very good value.

But this better not be THE move.

be careful what you wish for... I wish this was THE move the blues made and we don’t even need Smith.

 

[BostonBob]

Why another soft third liner!

I hope you did better on the 11 other posts you left.

 

[VanIsle]

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.

So many questions.

Im wondering what a DeBrusk/Vaak/maybe some draft picks package could acquire on the defensive end

 

[McGarnagle]

What's the beat on him? I get vibes of a guy who could be a great 3rd line winger or a decent 2nd line winger. Is that fair?

 

[FunkySeeFunkyDo]

Ugh, as a Pens fan I hate to see the Bruins make an excellent signing.

 

[VanIsle]

You know a signing is a good value when other teams fans come and say they wanted the guy and the $ value is good.

Smith you the the HF signature of approval.

TSN, Sportsnet this is how signings are graded now.

 

[Price is Wright]

Love this for Boston. Fantastic cap hit. Model of consistency.

You mean you don't like the current " Every Leaf Signing is Great and Every Other Team's Signings Suck !!!!!!! " grading system they both use now ????

 

[NotLeddy]

Great signing for Boston

 

[Marshall]

One of the best signings of the off-season.

 

[wetcoast]

Good player. Can give 40-50 points with solid possession play. Smart move from the the Bs

Sure but are the Bruins better with him and the loss of Krug.

 

[maplepred]

Smith probably gets 30 goals, 60 points with the bruins. Most offensive players drop about 10-15 points a season when in Nashville.
Best of luck in Boston smith!

 

[37Bergenov14]

If we want Hall, we have to trade some guys, cause we need a D too, so probably Debrusk trade

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

 

[Voodoo Glow Skulls]

Good signing.

 

[Gnashville]

Don’t let him shoot at empty nets.
