ClearedForContact Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 It could be a busy morning in Rangers Town. Not only did the Rangers re-call defenseman Neal Pionk earlier today, but according to Larry Brooks of the New York Post, veteran defenseman Brendan Smith, who has struggled mightily all season since signing his long-term extension this summer, has been placed on waivers: Mobile link: https://twitter.com/nyp_brooksie/status/961645973893189633 Read more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pws85nyr Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Guy has been terrible and that contract could be another anchor for 3 more years. Move along. I do wonder though if something happened that prompted this, he wouldn't be the obvious candidate necessarily.

Phil Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Hearing he's an A hole in the locker room. Odd, given he was projected to join the leadership group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torontonyr Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Odd, given he was projected to join the leadership group. Leaders and assholes have a lot in common. It's just which side of the line. Won't go into it and choose not to believe me. Just saying what I've heard :) Added: I also find it curious that there were no trade suitors for him, especially this early out from a trade deadline where GM's typically get antsy for extra D help ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least when Redden was demoted he was a consumate professional. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Why would he be picked up if there were no suitors on the trade market? It's not like he couldn't have been traded for "future considerations". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josh Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 What a terrible signing. Hopefully he can get his shit together. We could use pre-Rangers Smith, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mistercosmic Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Didn't liked his contract back last summer, will not miss him. Hopefully he'll be picked up.

It's not like he couldn't have been traded for "future considerations". It was sarcasm, sorry if that didn't come across. I'm trying to articulate that it may be a scenario that they didnt want him around the roster any longer and weren't willing to hold onto him until they could find one.

The Dude Posted February 8, 2018 Share Posted February 8, 2018 Why would he be picked up if there were no suitors on the trade market? It's not like he couldn't have been traded for "future considerations". Maybe this is some kind of message being sent. Maybe this is something the coach demands. It's definitely very bizarre. I've never heard anything bad about the guy. In fact the opposite was said about him upon his arrival and over the summer. Something must have happened off ice or with AV. Something stinks here and it's not just his mediocre play. This dude could have been traded. No doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
