| Capitols Officially Fire GM Smith Tuesday, September 18th , 1917 In a move that surprised few, the Harrisburg Capitols have dismissed general manager Sam Smith.
Smith's job security has been in doubt for some time, as the Capitols have lost games, whiffed on key draft picks and not been able to engineer a turnaround through free agency.
Smith seemed ready to move on, and even before today's announcement few observers expected him to stick around into next season.
"I will cherish my time in Harrisburg," Smith said. "I'm sorry it had to end this way but it is clear the relationship was not working." | | |
