2 million? Are you shitting me?

Ugh

Yay... another whole season of boneheaded goalie decisions based around the fact that Smith is supposedly a “battler”

 

[Zaddy]

This is bad

 

[Soli]

Ugh... Holland you had time.

 

[XXIV97]

Soooooo at least it is 1 year

 

[FanOfSadTeam]

Lol 2 mil aaah f***. Guess there was no one else

 

[BlackDogg]

Wtf

 

[Ninety7]

Yuck

 

[Joey Moss]

f*** off

 

[ohheyhemsky]

You have to think that we tried every other option here. Holland was on a streak. Zero chance that he just gave up.

 

[MettleMcOiler]

Lol called it XD

Redemption for Smith. Lets see if he has enough left in the tank.

 

[PositiveCashFlow]

And there’s the first mistake.

 

[t0nedeff]

Gross.

 

[Skolman]

Piss.

Who are the UFA goalies after this upcoming year....?

Koskinen will only have 1 yr left, and this Smith deal will obviously be done.

 

[frag2]

if he starts the season opener, nepotism at its finest

This absolutely feels like giving up.

 

[The Nuge]

I’m fine with it. Smith was good for us last year in the regular season. It’d be nice if we could have got him for less, but goalies are the one position that seems to be getting paid like normal. His long history with Tipp means it was always a likely outcome.

Koski is the one we need to worry about upgrading. Not his backup

 

[Mcnotloilersfan]

I was so happy until now...

 

[Delicious Pancakes]

And Holland was doing so well....

 

[gordonhught]

Meh

he provides leadership and costs no assets

 

[3IR]

I would have rather gone into the season with Koskinen and an AHL goalie and kept an eye on what shakes loose after training camp.

 

[Yeah15]

Mike Smith has one hell of an agent, shocked he didn't get league minimum

 

[Markham30]

Really... F*** me
