[Signing] Oilers sign Mike Smith (1yr, $2mil + $1.75mil performance bonuses)

[Stay Golden]

I was hoping Greasers overpaid but this is a fair signing. Still say Smith is a bad groin pull away from season over, he is an old 37.

Hope he’s not counting on that 750k in his budget next year.

Every goaltender is.

[Flamette]

So 40 games played would equal Talbot’s contract.

So $1M bonus then.

Somewhat risky to put your health in the hands of the Oilers training and medical staff. Wonky groin issues.

[FlamesAddiction]

I am glad that he is finally doing something to help the Flames.

HAHA, Stupid SCHMIDDY

[btimbit]

I liked Smith though, it's too bad he couldn't find a job in the NHL

Ya, man. Terrible idea to take a guaranteed $3 million bucks before you retire.

Looking at the contract, obviously coach/gm (/owner) dependant, but betting on yourself to outperform Koskinen doesn't seem like a bad move.

[Manhattanboy]

Everything is weird about Smith going to EDM and Talbot coming here.

I dont know whats going to be funnier, watching Smith pocket his bonuses or watching the Oilers ride Kostinem like a kid at Disneyland with an Express Pass while Smith watches.

Koskinen: “Pssst.... hey Smitty. Not sure if you’ve heard but my glove hand is pretty weak. Any pointers?”

Smith: “Did you know that I can dunk a basketball?”

Smith: Seen my five hole buddy?

[Mr.Coffee]

I find this signing bizarre, like so many things the Oilers do.

This last page is straight fire.

So, I am in Calgary for a couple days to visit some family, we go out for supper, and then someone says that there is a good ice cream shop we should go to. So after getting my ice cream I am sitting down eating, and I see in the line up, this tall slim guy with longer hair and a baseball cap, with three really blond little kids, look at him a few times then I recognize him, he sees me looking at him and he puts his head down and turns a bit to the side. I then think to myself, should I, a) go out to the car and get my Flames cap and come back and tell him " you are No good and you joined the Nogoodenest team of the whole league", b) ask him if he could get me Connor's autograph, C) stay sitting and enjoy that double scoop of salted carmel and maple pecan, on a waffle cone, mmm that was damn good ice cream.

[Hey Connor, It's Mess]

and then you woke up
