Surprised with Smith being cut so early. Not that I thought he would even be considered to make the jump in the NHL this year, but assumed the Flames would keep him around sort of like Kanzig last year (though that may have been because he was hurt). Good to have a kid like him hanging around the pros and absorbing stuff. I guess if the Flames know a prospect isn't going to make the cut, might as well get his junior season started off quickly.
Hope Carrol gets signed and into the AHL. Kid looks ready. I remember Lowry and even Todd Button stating that Kanzig was one of the leaders in Victoria. I wonder if he would be the next captain in that case? Anyone know?
