Confirmed with Link: Gemel Smith - Waived by Boston 12/18

[rocketdan9]

So glad we signed guys like Wagner to multi year deals in the off season when you can just claim guys like Gemel Smith 7 weeks into the season for 60% of the cap hit for one year.

Dont forget Nordstrom also lol

I rather have Schaller than either tbh

 

[13Hockey]

Acciari
Wagner
Kuraly

75 games played 3 goals

Smith

14 games played 2 goals

This is an upgrade over what we have even if by just a little


Career Best in goals for a season

Nordstrom- 10
Acciari- 10
Kuraly- 6
Wagner- 7

Smith has played 77 total games and has: 11 goals.

so it would appear he has a better scoring touch than all 4 guys... and should force one out of the lineup daily specifically Wagner or Acciari

 

[TCB]

At least has speed. Sounds like a player from the TB or Leafs team... can he play tonight?

Talent Analysis HF future
Smith was one of the fastest players taken in the 2012 draft. He is an energy player that makes the Energizer Bunny look like a tortoise and is an annoying player, constantly in the opposition’s face. Despite lacking size he is physical and tenacious. His feet never stop moving and he wins a lot of battles by that virtue. Smith is a strong forechecker that can fly back to cover defensively. Most of his scoring comes from turnovers he forces. He doesn’t possess elite offensive skills but has some good passing ability. Smith won’t score any goals from far-out because of a lacking shot. He will need more bulk and strength at the pro level but not at the cost of his speed. He is probably better suited as a wing at the next level.

Sound like a Sean Kuraly clone.

Don't disagree- it just says something about the state of the club at the current moment, doesn't it?

I sence nervous fans myself.Heck I am one .Just want this lineup fixed .

Acciari the guy that has to go without a doubt.

 

[TD Charlie]

The duck boats. Ready them.

 

[TCB]

If you look at the B's website they have him listed at #46 lol. Obviously that'll change, probably just waiting for him to join the team and pick a number.

Or waiting to announce the Krejci trade.

Has better hands and is not as tall

But otherwise sounds like it

Lou texted me the Bruins were doing this a couple days ago

Lou who’s your source ?

Has to be his girl friend.. Alex

 

[TCB]

Neely endorses this move.

 

[22Brad Park]

Acciari, Kuraly or any of the other uninspiring 4th liners the Bruins have been trotting out this year. I haven't been this bored by a Bruins team in a very long time. A decade at least.

Holy crap your back..Took boring hockey but welcome back.

Now the reality is he has the worst CORSI on the Stars with 37% and was playing 4 or 5 minutes a game his last few. Has 11 hits in 14 games so the big physical presence this board lives for isn't here.

 

[OldScool]

Sweeney has the 4th line market cornered.

 

[Roll 4 Lines]

This guy should be able to take a bottom 6 role easily in Boston.

He's got 2 goals.

He should take a TOP 6 role easily!

Why stop there? The problem isn't the 4th line guys with 2 goals it's the guys below not able to score 5 on 5. Would it also "appear" he has a better scoring touch than all the guys below.

Krecji 2 Goals - 1 on the PP
Backes 2 Goals
Heinen 2 Goals -1 on the PP
Donato 2 Goals -both on the PP
JFK 2 Goals

That's 6 even strength goals between 5 guys on your 2nd and 3rd line over 27 games.
Maybe the new guy should move to the 2nd line.

Wahahahahaha

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Smith telling the Boys.
"Hey it isn't all that bad they told me I''ll get a chance to play between Marchand and Pasta"

Hmmmmm, maybe it's something to be optimistic about. Some twitter quotes from a Stars fans:
"insane. the kid had upside. id rather have him than underachieving dopes like nichushkin, faksa, pitlick"
"Should be Ritchie going."

Yeah, they sound like Bruins fans, don't they. I hope he is a big hit here.

[smack66]

all I know is it sounds like the kid gives an honest effort everynight. That's a great start in my books and if it sends Acciari to Providence its a really big win.

 

[KrejciMVP]

0 PIM on the year, I guess he hasn't been fighting?

 

[Terrier]

Wake up call for the bottom 6. I'm excited to see what Gemel will bring to the table.

Couldn't agree more, need to create some urgency among the players after the Sunrise debacle.
