    Take the keys away from Poile. How is ownership okay with the direction of the team?

    the Preds got their guy…

    I don’t feel like I’m saying this in a sarcastic manner, he really is somehow their guy

  3. BigMACfive

    I swear this organization is run by Twitter trolls. It’s the only explanation that makes sense.

    SMH… At least it wasn’t some 6 year deal that will hurt our salary. That will come next year probably haha

    That’s 164 game forward Cole Smith we just signed… apparently. Hey, I’m happy for the guy, he’s going to make some cash and get to play professional hockey.

    As for the team, I just hope everyone has fun. I’ve got 3 or 4 games left in my 1/4 season ticket package and I don’t know that I’m going to be shelling out a bunch of money to go to more games than that. Maybe if I get some crazy cheap deals or something.

    Man. I could skate around for 82 games and score maybe one goal. Can I have $750,000 ?

  7. Dick-Punch89

    For that same price and term, you could put me out on the ice and I would give them the same amount of effort.

  8. The_Stank__

    Man scores what 2 goals? Yeah real heavy hitter

  9. GermyMac

    Release Tolvanen. Extend Cole Smith.

    Way to go, Poile.

  10. Dalanard

    Might as well retire his number and raise a banner now.

    #OH NO NOT A LEAGUE MINIMUM CONTRACT HOW COULD YOU

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

    Excuse me while I go bang my head against a wall.

    ETA: How do I get the level of blackmail on someone that Smith obviously has on this organization?

  14. mrmacdougall

    A $25,000 raise to a player the staff loves but is still low enough that the entire cap hit is buried if they send him back to the AHL. But yes, everyone should overreact.

  15. KaleidoscopeOk1346

    I know it’s a small sample size…. But the team does know we win games when he doesn’t play right?

    I think small sample sizes are fair considering he is a forward with 2 goals.

  16. Bkoster85

    If someone before the year said “They are gonna waive Tolvanen and play Cole Smith every game and even as #20 in the league Poile still thinks they’re gonna go on a run”

    It would be one of those sarcastic exaggeration takes… But nope here we are and it’s literally happening. I’ve been a diehard my whole life since the days of Greg Johnson and Scott Walker and I’m so close to being done until Poile gives it up (which is probably going to be 5-10 years Lmao)

  17. VanillaNubCakes

    Honestly surprised the term isn’t longer. Felt like they were maybe considering moving on from Sissons since “bruising 2 way forward that excels on the PK” describes both of them and Smith was always going to be cheap af.

    But I guess Sissons can actually shoot so there’s that.

  18. Loudlaryadjust

    Fourth liner has fourth line statistics, signs for league minimum.

    MELTDOWN!!!

  19. NoKneeHobbit68

    Not gonna have a meltdown over this, but it is kinda deflating. Good for Cole. Hope he makes some money while he can. I wish it was somewhere else, but at least he’s not Ben Harpur.

  20. The_Black_Joker

    I’m going to take skating classes at the Ford Ice Center. I will then qualify for a $775k contract for the Preds. Anyone know when they have try-outs? I can definitely put up as many goals in my first 50 games as Cole Smith did.
