Thread: Moving Sandin and Kerfoot without ripping off the other team
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>mokumboi</b></div><div>Smith... mmmm not so much. He could be a big late bloomer, but for now all indications seem to point to a depth player. It's not as bad as some may make it out to be, but I still think Sandin is the clear best piece in the deal.</div></div>
Smith looked very good. Smart, tenacious player. It's not like he's been toiling away in the minors and never got a call up. He just exited college. Had 19-31-50 in 36 games for a D1 school. Bobby Brink was the only higher scorer in NCAA D1 (14-41-52 in 39 games).
I think he's already looked fine as a 3C. I don't know that his ceiling is much higher a middle-six option, but I definitely wouldn't trade him for a third.

I like Sandin quite a bit, and he'd probably get more minutes with the Coyotes, but I'm not sure the Coyotes make that move with the logjam at D for the moment and the thin forward corps until the recent are ready to push for a roster spot. Maccelli and Smith fill a bigger hole for the team, imo. Depending on what they get back from Chychrun and Ghost trades eventually, maybe that changes.
