If he makes the team on a line with Bellemare and Joseph, that would be the only line with 3 black players in the NHL. Also the only time I can remember it happening in history aside from the Atlanta Thrashers.

And this would be on what is considered by many to be the best team in the league, I'm a fan

Tampa had an all-black line sometime last year. Was only for a game though.

Why does "the best team in the league" matter?

Serious question.

For anyone who has watched him play recently, is he considered a full time NHLer? I haven't followed him since the Stars let him go after drafting him, don't think he made much of an impression n Dallas, but I've noticed he's hung around the league.

He looked alright with Detroit. Came up from the ahl after being injured, probably will look better after some time getting back into full time hockey.

Good claim by Tampa.(jerks)

He’s been with Tampa for 3 seasons. During that time he’s been more of a call up guy, but he could be something more on a weaker team. He is what he is at this point in his career, but we obviously like him and made sure to reclaim him after losing him to waivers last month

They always acquire Gemel Smith

Is this the idiot with the high hit on Julien Gauthier recently?

Well, he got waived by Detroit, whose forward depth is ass…

I take it Raddysh / Katchouk are not cutting it as 4th liners so far?

LA did as well.

I think they're fine? We just have a roster spot right now.

Someone might have a nagging injury or something.

For those interested, this cost Tampa Bay $13,125, paid to Detroit and not counted against the cap.

Right back at ya

Smith is going right to our AHL team

 

[2020 Cup Champions]

Nah that is Giovanni Smith who is his brother and a better player but more of a tough guy.

He was waived by Tampa earlier this season, it’s not a huge deal.
