Holtz’ 4th line replacement? Or a closeted goalie ready to break out…

He’s a defenseman

Why?

Maybe Smith is going as part of another deal?

I looked up the past few games. And he was either the third line right-wing. Or scratched.  bastian upgrade?

Weird, I see him listed as a D when I look him up.

Devils are calling him a forward.   If he plays defense and has grit?   I guess a Smith replacement.

 

but I want to see us either get pieces to right the ship, or sell off.    No reason to float here rudderless.

I get the feeling Holtz and Smith are going as part of a deal for Markstrom.

And the devil's IG post had him as a forward lol

Think he plays both.

Guessing that the “returned favor” for taking on Markstrom’s full hit and helping out with Tanev will be Calgary taking Smith as part of the deal.  Sure seems like we’ll be finding out one way or the other very soon.

No complaints here if we can dump Smith.

I wonder if Schmid goes to Calgary as well. LTIR Vanacek, Schmid moved out, Daws as Markstrom’s backup.

This is funny. 

“Hey! Aren’t you Connor McDavid?” McDavid not wanting to be recognized: ‘No, I’m Kurtis…. MacDermid’.

Actually this feels pretty inconsequential. I haven't followed the prospects so closely this year but Bardakov has 12 points on 52 games for SKA this year. That's 6 less than last season in 9 more games. He is 23 and Russian. So no guarantee  he even makes Utica.

A seventh  is a massive long shot.

Mc Mermaid is at least playing in the NHL.

We can only hope this is a precursor to a bigger move. Maybe someone for some reason wants Smith?
