They are not in the same league. Olofsson is a much higher ceiling guy. Smith would be great for us if he's even an effective bottom 6 guy at that cap.Between CJ and Olofsson, i like our chances of finding a top 6 winger. Glad he is signed for the big club
What exactly are you basing this on?They are not in the same league. Olofsson is a much higher ceiling guy. Smith would be great for us if he's even an effective bottom 6 guy at that cap.
I'll feel better about missing out on the Donskois and Connollys of the FA class if Smith turns into a player in the top 9.

Smith was just as lethal as Olofsson scoring goals and points this past season. Thats without the elite release. They will both be 24 when the seasons starts. They both took a longer path than most to the NHL as a 7th rounder and a college UDFA.
I’m a huge fan of both and think they will both be great adds this season. Olofsson will probably be used on offensive lines/situations while Smith will be more of a glue guy who can play with any line.
fwiw CJ's release might not be on Olofsson level but it's still very goodWhat exactly are you basing this on?

Add it to the list of things Phil needs a thrashing for.And we know he can handle the rol---wait a minute. We don't know. Because Phil.
I hope he's good. He looks like he would make a quality mid-6 addition as a straight-line, energetic winger. But... we don't know. His primary point share last year in the AHL was pretty good, could be indicative of translating that to the NHL if he's given an opportunity.
Very truefwiw CJ's release might not be on Olofsson level but it's still very good
CJ will be in the lineup, book it. It still baffles me that people here post lines with him not in them. Absolutely ridiculous.

Probably because none of the dead weight has been removed yet.
