I guess an insurance policy should Sokolov get picked up on waivers. Sounds like the same player
Smejkal scouting report: Needs to put on weight. Has a mean streak. Can be a difficult teammate at times. Incredibly motivated to get a ring.

Taken from the main board:
The bolded kinda raised my eyebrows.
Brassard was 12&10 this year. He didn’t barely hang out. He was unreal value lol. If this random dude is that. He’s a homerun euro free agent signingthe brassards and hamonics of today are not the brassards and hamonics of past days. need young energetic legs with skill, not old guys barely hanging on.

Amounts are "unconfirmed" at this time.Yes it is, 95k bonus and 855k NHL salary (total cap hit of 950k) and minors salary of 82,500 according to capfriendly.
I wonder what is meant by "skating is just OK" and "his style lends itself to a real chance to play NHL games"?Pronman had him ranked six in his recent list of undrafted FA's
"He’s a big, powerful winger with good skills who can help on both special teams. His skating is just OK and whether he will score in North America is a question, but his style lends itself to a real chance to play NHL games."
We shouldn’t be losing Sokolov on waivers, I see him at least start the season in Ottawa. He looked fine in the limited minutes he was allocated. I learned that he does have Shark like instincts when it comes to causing an offensive turnover. Good offensive instincts, skating is a work in progress.
We may have space for both of these guys as 12/13. With a sneaky chance that they want to try one of them out with Pinto depending on their start to the season.
So long Stone Cold Auston Watson.
I don't have much confidence that a big slow winger could play NHL hockey on the PK. I also doubt he will be on the Senator's PP.Pronman had him ranked six in his recent list of undrafted FA's
