He missed a large chunk of time due to injury. He played well until then but I’m guessing the sample size was too small for that sort of commitment. Quote

French Collection Posted July 17, 2018 Report Posted July 17, 2018 He's getting more money than Baptiste and Bailey. Is that because he put up better numbers in the AHL? Quote

Nope, it’s because the Sabres had to give him a larger qualifying offer. Its based off your last contract and Smith had a better entry level deal than the other two. Remember, he was a college free agent and the Sabres had to outbid other teams for him. As far as I am able to tell, all these guys have just signed their QO. Quote

Even if they were maxed out, that cap only goes up over time. Quote
