LOL I love Oilers fans. Oilers fans and Rod Peterson never cease to provide me laughs.
Even Mark Spector chose to leave his spine at the door and say on the Fan today that Smid was a 5th defenseman getting overpaid today. There has to be money under the table going to Oilers media as the Flames would have got roasted by local media if the tables were turned.

Andrew Ference
Nick Schultz
Justin Schultz
Jeff Petry
Philip Larsen
Anton Belov
Taylor Fedun
Smid is paid more than all of them, the same as Nick Schultz, shudder at that concept. I cant pick 4 guys on that list I'd take over Smid. I might be able to pick one. And then I remember that Andy Ference is 34 and I'm back to zero.

Yeah....5th defenceman on that roster.....
