Great move! Hopefully he's claimed.

Was a great soldier for us, but he's past his expiration date. Here's hoping he's claimed and is able to continue his career elsewhere.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Loool Dorions best move in a while.

 

[Clayonator]

Holy crap, did not see that coming.

 

[CTC]

surprised actually.

 

[Icelevel]

Thought he looked good in preseason so far.

 

[scallionjj11]

anyone else completely shocked about this? Do we really have the forward depth to make this move?

 

[Nosswor]

Could've seen this happening once Pageau is back, but who is going to play centre?

 

[BondraTime]

Holy, did not realise how bad his contract was, nobody is going to claim him

Holy, did not realise how bad his contract was, nobody is going to claim him

maybe on re entry?

 

[Icelevel]

Colin white come on down

 

[OgieO]

Let White and Chlapik play C. I love Smith, but to my eyes it looked like he was beat out by younger players. Still, a good guy and I hope he lands on his feet and continues his career for many years to come. Good luck Smithy.

[Sensinitis]

only 1 year in of a 4 year deal...

 

[Ser Grogu]

maybe on re entry?

Is that even still a thing? I thought they got rid of that.

 

[BonkTastic]

maybe on re entry?

Re-entry waivers has been gone for half a decade.

 

[scallionjj11]

So if he clears does he play in the AHL this year?

lol my bad, thanks for the update.

Cmon... Smith isn't that bad. This is purely a money saving move.

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Paul Carey scored more goals than him last year.

The following players outscored him last season.

Didomenico
Carey
Paajarvi
Burrows
Pyatt
Gaborik

We have more than enough to replace Smith's 5 goals of "depth".

 

[Joeyjoejoe]

Cmon... Smith isn't that bad. This is purely a money saving move.

Don't they still have to pay him for full salary if he clears and goes to AHL?

 

[Very Stable Genius]

I wish this was done before Dorion signed him to that deal
