It's over
This is very likely Smilanic signing an ECHL deal with 3R.
The hint in the tweet is it's a 6'1" forward who will play his first year and spent three years in the NCAA. And that is Smilanic.
He gets to stay in the organization that knows him best and he's playing in probably the best and newest facility in the league. It's a good outcome for him.
He doesn't have much of a choice at this point sadly, with everything that has happened in his life in the last 2 years and all that. Still, it's nice that he's going at it with the right attitude. I'll be pulling for him, that's for sure.I personally like that he's willing to start at the bottom and work his way up.
Should form a good duo with Novak in 3R.
he looked like shit at Wisconsin and Quinnipiac. Hopefully he cleaned up his act, I don't know the full details so I'm not touching it.
All I know is that he took 2 months off last season to focus on his mental health. If that was a cover for something else I did not hear about it
