Description

I know we have back to back wins, but now if dougie is out, i have no doubt that Lindy will put smith back on D on a nightly basis. if that happens, its gonna be a tough watch. smith is not capeable of being an NHL defensemen. I dont mind him at forward, he provides some value on the 4th line, but he might just be the worst defensemen i have ever seen in the NHL. surley there are better options in utica (NEMEC!!), but Lindy will never go that route.

Honestly, when Smith was the 6/7 defender for the Canes, I didn’t have an issue with his defense. Haven’t watch him this year however.

If Dougie is out...they will need to call someone up to replace in lineup.

(so maybe its not Smith).

It's almost like they shouldn't have let both Severson and Graves go without replacing either with anyone...

Yes call up nemec and burn one year of his ELC. You understand that they burned a year of Hughes ELC by having him play 2 games last year. Also good idea to have the Dcore be more inexperience good logic mate. Its gonna be Cal if cal doesnt work out they will look for a trade.
