I kinda hope that a team offer-sheets Zadina with a $4.5M contract. A 1st and a 3rd would be well worth the loss. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No thanks! also, with all the forwards being signed and Berggren vying for a spot, thankfully it looks like the G. Smith experiment is over. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just don't want to see him playing too many games or too many minutes. But a tough guy who can take a few 4th line shifts now and again (and not get completely overwhelmed) is fine by me. I'd rather him be in the press box than someone who's actually good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you could provide me data showing that this team would be better with Smith over Gagner, then I'd maybe change my mind.

Smith punches people in the face though. That alone is unique in today's NHL, plus he has more upside. Gagner is old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jonas Mahonas 1,872 Report post Posted July 22, 2022 Smith and Gagne both suck. Bring up a Kirill if we need a plug. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kipwinger 8,521 Report post Posted July 22, 2022 Kirill blew his shoulder out and has been rehabbing for a year. I'm actually pretty excited to see if he can gain a little traction in the AHL now that he's healthy. He's a really weird player to watch with his herky jerky playing style.

LeftWinger 4,951 Report post Posted July 22, 2022 As it sits now, assuming Zadina gets re-signed and Veleno has a spot, there 14 forwards, guessing that Smith and Erne would be 13 and 14. At $2.1M for Erne, that is a pretty expensive press box. Unless Berggren comes in and steals a spot, then that looks like that will be opening night roster, barring trades. Then, when Fabbri comes back, I am assuming that is when Smith will get the waive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
diehardredwingsfan58 123 Report post Posted July 22, 2022 Solid signing by Steve Yzerman, Hopefully Kubalik can contribute another 30 gaol season with Detroit. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Neomaxizoomdweebie 3,083 Report post Posted July 26, 2022 Best signing of all IMO. Even if he continues where he left off last year, its a good deal. But seeing that Kubalik has the potential to break out offensively, he could be a steal. 1 13dangledangle reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
