Waived: Sens waive Zack Smith (upd: clears)

Rumor has it he was waived after he used 2 paper towels instead of one to dry his hands after going to the bathroom at the Sens facilities.
Paajarvi and Pyatt though, they are great at hockey! And pennies on the dollar to boot.

Sure, but even still Ottawa is in the bottom 5. One can make an argument for them being at the bottom of that group, especially if another trade is made. That's far from "not the worst" in my book.
Of course, things could all go a completely different way than we expect - look at Vegas last year. But it seems pretty safe to say that Ottawa will have one of the worst forward groups in the NHL next season and for the foreseeable future.

I wasn't sure about White's position, saw him playing RW last year. Two rookie centers is far from ideal.

Paajarvi and Pyatt would be decent 4th liners on any team in the league. And combined they make a fraction of what Zack Smith currently earns. But please, provide more Senators hot takes.

I've noticed the trend for lots of folks to pile on and take their shots. No idea what anybody gets out of that other than making those folks look rather crass and classless.
From what I read and interpreted, people didn't even understand the assets returned in EK deal and tended to drop certain picks. Maybe there was a incorrect initial article published somewhere with bad info, or maybe it was laziness in combination with lack of reading comprehension. It was rather sad regardless of the reason however.

It's been going on for the past year. We are being rawdogged by our own team and the other 30 teams as well.

I wonder if the Sens tried to sneak Carey and Paul through waivers so that we can use both of them over the next month without worrying about losing one of them. So, if Smith is claimed, they could give both players an extended tryout at 4C and determine who is the best fit, while also moving Chlapik and White from wing to C to determine where they fit best.
If Smith isn't claimed, well, no biggie - Smith plays 4C and we try to deal him later.

Bergevin sent me an offer sheet
This is the biggest joke of a waiver move I've ever seen in recent NHL memory. Smith will easily be claimed, if they wanted to get something cheap money-wise out of him they should've traded him.
The Sens are amazing me in the worst of ways as the days go by, and it upsets me because as much as I hate the Senators their fans do not deserve this crap at all. I'd literally be fuming if I was a Sens fan, and I'd be writing Melnyk a 100,000-word essay on why he should sell the team and post it on Reddit under my real name.
As for Zack Smith, my guess is gets claimed by either Dallas, Edmonton, Vancouver or New Jersey. Would be funny to see Colorado or San Jose claim him though.

Damn. Sad to be honest. The last thing Ottawa could of tried to salvage was the team morale. Also I hope for their sake they get something for Duchene cause if not this honestly may have a case for worst trade of all time. Duchene for a very similar player to him plus a recent first round drafted prospect and a potential 1OA plus some other throw ins pick for a player who walks...

Sure I am. Might be why Duchene said it's a kick in the balls.
As for Brennan, why not? I like the cut of his jib.

But they wanted a player back for Hoffman not picks!!! So they could have had Smith plus a 2nd 4th and 5th or Boedker!
Go Melnyk.
What? if his contract was good, he'd be in the NHL. he's so bad they don't even want him on the team let alone pay him 3.25m for the next 3 years. But yeah, the contract is fine somehow.......

He's not very good and has 3 more years at 3.25, most teams have their own roster problems to sort out right now so unlikely that he gets claimed.
