In one fantasy projection (that I generally find pretty good), Smith was estimated to have 25 wins and 24 losses in 54 starts.
For reference, Elliott was 26-18 last year in 45 starts. So Smith will start almost ten more games and will have less wins than Elliott did last season.
Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be an Oiler fan, when people are endlessly optimistic about your team despite having spent a decade as the most historically poor team in pro sports. Why are the Flames so routinely subjected to pessimism?
