Defenseman Brendan Smith has agreed to a professional tryout contract with the Columbus Blue Jackets. The 36-year-old was a free agent after completing a one-year deal with the Dallas Stars. Smith made only 32 appearances in Dallas last season, recording six points (one goal, five assists) and 41 hits. As a 14-year veteran, Smith can add a wealth of experience to the Blue Jackets team. However, if he lands a contract for the season, Smith likely won't have a regular spot in the lineup.--Taavi PailkRead More News
