I'm still fully convinced Smith is the right man of all that are available. If Bishop was signed to a similar contract I would agree with everybody else but he is not and contract term and length is simply to important to ignore. Bishop will want at the very least 5 years, probably more.
Smith usually faces a borage of shots in Arizona so I think he could excel with a team who is better defensively, he hates to lose, is very athletic, can play the puck extremely well, has experience in the playoffs, is signed to the perfect contract that can get us to our next wave of goalie prospects and is HUGE in net. I want a goalie where you can literally see no net.
I hope they take a flyer on him.

I'm surprised it took someone this long to ask, and I figured it would be a Smith advocate who'd end up being the one who did ask.

Not sure if that means league average or their own personal average.
