It's a win win the way I look at it. We get him then great we are set up for a long playoff run, if not we still have the assets and can grab him in July

Klein is out all weekend with this back issue. Wouldn't be surprised to see a move for a D man by the weekend

Rangers have a heck of player in Skjei...I just saw he's 6th among Dmen in 5v5 pts. That's Karlsson, burns, hedman, bufuglyn, and Hamilton ahead of him. Pretty good co. if you ask me

I'd like Smith but does another lefty make sense? Mac, Skjei, Staal and Holden already

Id rather get another good lefty than settle for a mediocre righty. Besides Shattenkirk, there's no right handed defensemen worth getting really.

Smith is probably gonna be another Klein/Holden type of pickup.

I wonder if they get smith then trade Holden. I'd rather have Holden as I don't know much about Smith, but Holden would be one of our unprotected guys so may not wanna lose him for nothing

Would suck to lose Holden for nothing at the expansion draft but I feel like Holden is worth more to us for a playoff run than whatever pick we'd get if we traded him.

Can anyone tell me why the Avs wanna trade Duchesne and Landiskog? Aren't they cornerstones to build on? I don't get it lol. So you just trade them and start over again...

He does have moments tho. Get it's the way of Hank alot, screens etc. But, he has been a solid under the radar pickup like Grabner

Scouting reports on Smith from the regulars over on the Red Wings blog:

Great skater. Plays with an edge. Good shot impacts. Never really put in a position to produce offense like he did in college. Justin Schultz 2.0 with more tools imo.

All the tools. No tool box. Plays with an edge. Raises game in playoffs. Third pair guy. Excellent skater. Stands up for teammates. Low hockey IQ. Great teammate.

hes going to turn the puck over.

Seems like an excellent skater that plays with an edge

This is what all Ranger fans female dog about to, so I don't see him being a bad pickup depending on price

Someone getting a hat trick tonight. This devil D is

Some updated K Shattenkirk info: team that offered $40+ mil was not Tampa. TBL did make offer but term wasn't long enough.
