Waiver Move
The Senators have placed Zack Smith on waivers.
Smith has three-years left on his contract, that has a modified no-trade clause. Placing him on waivers may be a way around the no-trade, but Smith is one of the better forwards on a bad Senators team and giving him away for nothing seems counterproductive. The 30-year-old had 19 points (5G / 14A) in 68 games a season ago.
Smith (shoulder) will be back in the Senators lineup on Friday.
Smith has missed the last five games with a shoulder injury, but will return tonight vs. the Sharks. Smith has struggled this season, picking up just eight points (2G / 8A) with an ugly minus-15 rating in 24 games.
