Smolinski could be affordable pick-up for an NHL team

An excerpt from the Boston Globe (Fluto Shinzawa):

Somewhat surprising that no team has signed ex-Bruin Bryan Smolinski. The 36-year-old Smolinski, last seen centering Montreal’s crash trio (arguably the most effective threesome against the Bruins in the playoffs) between back-cracker Steve Begin and Tom Kostopoulos, could be an inexpensive one-year pickup for third- or fourth-line duty. Smolinski might have to go the tryout route to earn an NHL job come October.

  1. I alawys assumed that Smoke was waiting on Mats Sundin and would be a logical “Plan B” for one of the teams that was not able to spend all their cap money on the Swede. Including, obviously, Montreal where he has a comfort level of sorts.

    My feeling is that the Habs might sign Smolinski, and/or Shanahan and Brisebois with the leftover coin if Sundin isn’t available.
