Love it for term, value and overall adjustment of the team makeup up front.

Michael Ryder level signing to me.

A solid move but more needs to be done at the top end of the team.

Craig Smith expert here

my guy on the HFL SIM

was telling the boys in our text group I was praying not 4 or 4.5 when he signed a few weeks ago never even thinking Bruins

this is fantastic for me and the Bruins

love the money
Love the years
Love the player

Very happy

who goes now ? We got too many forwards

 

[wintersej]

Great value. Good addition.

Better not be the big move.

Basically my thoughts, exactly. I really do like this signing but I need more.

 

[Emerz]

Smith is usually good for between 20-25 goals a season, no issue adding him at a low cap hit. Also can't be our only addition.

 

[sarge88]

If this is their only add up front I’ll be disappointed.

If they add another legit scoring winger, this is a great add.

 

[BruinsPortugal]

I like it a lot for that price. On to Hall now.

 

[NDiesel]

Love it! Guy shoots a ton, imagine Hall and Smith with krejci.....

 

[NeelyDan]

Where’s my lotion

Wonder if someone is shipped out for a defensemen.

Interesting structure... figure it’s JJ’s concern about revenues in the short term with COVID and opening up in a year or two? Just guessing, would love some insight

I know Smith well I watch him like a hawk and started digging into Toffoli analytics a bit and I’ve flipped

I want him

only thing Is Bruins have so many forwards they need to purge a few

Yah thinking same

 

[BruinsFanMike82]

Like the player. Like the contract. Just not for the top-6. I still hope there's a top-6 forward coming in.

 

[Gee Wally]

Very good complimentary player on great term.

Now finish the menu.

 

[NeelyDan]

f*** this.

Trade Kase and you get 2.6M in space. Trade Ritchie you get 1.4M in space. Move them both you get 4M in space. lol

 

[Dicky113]

Good player. I think this solidified the forward group somewhat. Now if they land Pietrangelo the team will hAve been improved dramatically.

 

[SPLBRUIN]

Very pleased with this, when I heard we signed Smith I assumed it would be for around 4 mil/year. He has good size, not afraid to play in the rough areas and scores about 20 goals a year. We still need more, if we can snag Hall our forward corps are as good as anyone's.

 

[Over the volcano]

Trade Kase and you get 2.6M in space. Trade Ritchie you get 1.4M in space. Move them both you get 4M in space. lol

Or keep them both as they’re both cheap and in contract years

 

[Mione134]

Trade Kase and you get 2.6M in space. Trade Ritchie you get 1.4M in space. Move them both you get 4M in space. lol

Trade Bjork and Moore and you got even...more!

 

[veganbruin]

This is a fantastic signing. I wanted him at the deadline. Great value, great player. Solid middle 6 winger. Way better than Toffoli.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Great value. Good addition.

Better not be the big move.

Already overloaded on forwards. IF Hall is coming (which I'm having the feeling he's not) I'm imagining Debrusk is the best value out to grab a top 4 LD

But yea, this can't be THE move.

 

[SanDogBrewin]

Trade Kase and you get 2.6M in space. Trade Ritchie you get 1.4M in space. Move them both you get 4M in space. lol

Mine as well throw in Moore for a 7th rounder anywhere or green fees (future considerations) as well.
