Confirmed with Link: [ARI/WPG] Coyotes acquire Nathan Smith plus Brian Little (LTIR) for 2022 4th rd pick.

Trade isn’t made unless there’s some type of informal agreement

If one of McBain or Smith end up as good as Dvo then BA did a hell of a job churning the roster to get younger. If either are just very solid 3C's that can slot up a line he also did a fantastic job with asset management. He's making this look easy right now.

I'm new to your forum and know Nate. I've been following him for a long time, if there are any questions you have about him i might be able to help answer them. Congrats on the smith pickup, I hope he does well for you guys

 

[Nowotny]

If he does sign he'll be playing in a smaller arena than he did in college.

I already saw this line about 10 times at main HF boards.Can you come up with something new?

Does this kid have top 6 potential? Thanks.

lol I'm not much of a hockey guy but Nate excelled in every team he played. He played roller hockey for a while then transitioned into ice.
He was a 3rd round pick of the jets and a Florida boy going to the farthest north team...lol

He must not be ready to stop living the college life yet.

Ah, okay, that might explain the "he didn't learn to ice skate until he was 11"...kinda like that girl from Ocala who just won an Olympic medal in speed skating.

What part of FL is he from? (I'm the resident Florida Man here, from Titusville but live in greater Phoenix)

Okay that’s enough.

He will sign, they talked all day on Friday. The jets knew he wasn't going to sign so they got whatever they could for him

f*** this joke is getting old already.

I think it is funny. I wouldn't let it bother you. Winning will shut them up.

It doesn’t bother me. It’s just a waste of time to read the same joke 1000 times. Everyone acts like this is an original line

I have never stopped living the college life. At least, that is what my wife says. Party on.

It’s as annoying as Kessel and hot dogs jokes as well.

This is great news. Any insight as to why he didn’t want to sign in Winnipeg? And why he is so receptive to Phoenix?

My liver couldn't sustain living at a college life-level.

I'm not 100% sure but i think he wanted to stay in the US. The cold probably didn't help either

I read somewhere that the Coyotes will burn a year of his ELC.

I talk a big game. Usually one drink on Friday OR Saturday is all for me. Then it's time for the Lazyboy and a snooze.

That’s usually a given with college players signing after their season is over. The same will happen with McBain. But Smith will have to wait until Minnesota State’s season is over to sign.

Not sure what "Burn a Year" means but I'm going to guess he will play the last 10 games.

Good one

 

[MIGs Dog]

Some would say greater size leads to higher satisfaction

I wouldn't know.

 

[GhostofTommyBolin]

He means they'll agree to count this season as the first year of his ELC basically, so next season is the 2nd of the 3-year ELC, allowing him to become a restricted free agent one year earlier. Normally a guy would sign and next season would be the 1st year.
