Mike Smith is thinking about playing in Europe. "I think everyone's starting to think about their options now," Smith said. "I talked to a few buddies that I've played with on different teams, and we're kind of laughing a little bit saying we should reunite somewhere. Obviously Europe's got some great hockey over there, and it would probably be the next best thing." Dozens of players have already committed to playing with European teams for the duration of the lockout.
