Senators Sign Smejkal to One-year Deal

Turns out Pierre Dorion is just as bored as the rest of us.

With the regular season wrapped up and the NHL playoffs allegedly still occurring, there isn’t a lot for an Ottawa Senator GM to do. Golfing is an option but with courses a little slow to open, you have to get creative.

Yes, that will do nicely.

Smejkal comes from Swedish Hockey League (SHL), where he just put up 43 points in 52 regular-season games. Here’s Pierre on what the 26-year old forward brings to the organization.

“Jiri’s signing is a good addition for us; it improves our depth and provides us with an additional bottom-six option at forward. He’s a big body who’s strong with previous experience playing in North America which should help his transition to a rink with smaller dimensions. We’re pleased that he’s committed to the Senators for the next step in his career.”

Well okay then!
