I'm not sure I see the link you are making between puck handling and "athletic/aggressive smith" and his saves looking more spectacular than they really are.
His puckhandling and the effects on our play, positioning, defencemen being comfortable/uncomfortable sure I get all those. But I really don't see any link between him playing the puck a lot and his style of goaltending in general. Unless you're specifically talking about when he screws up and needs to rush back to the net but it does not appear so. You seem to think there's some link between his puckhandling and his general positioning/goaltending style.
