Opie 308 Report post Posted July 15, 2008 (edited) Edit: Can the mods change that to 2.2 per year or 4.4 for two years!!! Thanks!! Smith now makes more money than Ozzie! Didn't find this on here. http://sports.yahoo.com/nhl/news;_ylt=Au5_...p&type=lgns TAMPA, Fla. (AP)—The Tampa Bay Lightning signed goalie Mike Smith to a $4.4 million, two-year contract extension on Monday. Smith was acquired from the Dallas Stars in February. The incumbent starter played in 13 games with the Lightning last season. “It goes without saying Mike has a bright future,” Tampa Bay vice president of hockey operations Brian Lawton said. Smith will share time with Olaf Kolzig, the former Washington Capitals’ goalie who was signed as free agent earlier this month.

If they don't sign some defensemen soon, Smith is going to be handling the puck more than any of their forwards. Edited July 15, 2008 by grsbmd Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I assume you either meant the need D or you were being sarcastic about Smith handling the puck more than the forwards, they have nothing but forwards.
