[Flashpoint]

You can set aside all the advanced stats for a simple reason.

Smid is an NHL player. The other guys aren't. There is no point comparing them, because we got a 27(?) year old NHL defenseman for essentially nothing.

The best part being Smid was a rebuild piece from the Pronger deal, so we not only get to capitalize on that massive massive incompetence by managing our own rebuild correctly and having the cap space available to take advantage, we also get to watch the Oilers eat their own young.

I like Smid's heart and willingness to protect his teammates. The blocked shots are just a bonus.
