There’s that out of nowhere signing

 

[Zapp]

Ok

 

[mc3488]

Wtf

 

[Zapp]

I don’t hate it. But it means Kivi is gone

 

[Magic Mittens]

Ugh

 

[Kcb12345]

My favorite Craig Smith highlight

 

[Kipper 17]

I’m not excited about this signing, but I don’t really understand the outrage.

 

[JeffP]

yea, well.. i dont know what to say

 

[serp]

Mean Kivi is gone. Too bad i liked Kivi.

 

[Kcb12345]

Seems like a guy you could've gotten on a PTO honestly

 

[SolidusAKA]

Gm of the year baby!

 

[mc3488]

He’s shot

I'm not mad, but just seems like we could of waited, or spent the cap somewhere else

Did Smith even play last year?

 

[Azzuri]

He's a PKer. We needed a PKer to replace Glen

 

[Ub the Bub]

Yeah, it's a body we can bury in minors with no cap penalty if he doesn't perform. This is fine...

 

[Zrhutch]

The roster must always have a Vern Fiddler. It is not a Dallas Stars roster without at least one (1) Vern Guy

Jim likes his PK specialists on the wrong side of 30

 

[Zrhutch]

Found this by googling jfresh hockey and scrolling through his recent tweets on Google. I couldn’t access it on Twitter because Elon is a f***ing idiot.

 

[Magic Mittens]

I didn't realize he played on the PK, makes it a little better

 

[DangeRouss]

I would have preferred my man Bellemare way better at faceoff and PK

 

[Satan]

Craig Smith is good. I wanted Fast but this is fine

 

[Zapp]

Craig Smith is good. I wanted Fast but this is fine

There he is

Thought about this signing more and have let it settle in. I'd suspect he will have no issue scoring more goals than Kiviranta or Glendening did. Smith has a very good shot/good finishing ability for a 4th liner. Also seems this past season was his first truly bad season of his career outside of his sophomore year in the NHL it seems. Scoring 9 goals in a bad year is still better than the 4th line depth we had. Solid signing

I liked Nill's comments about this and the Steel signing in the video from the other thread. Basically saying he wants 4th liners who can actually score and possess the puck instead of the usual guys we have had in the past. Good to see and definitely a much needed change

100% - love the adds for the 4th line. I think Smith (and Steel) could have a sneaky good season with 10+ goals.
