Given the assets we have to work with, that move makes some sense.

Expecting Smith to come in and add offence would be a terrible decision.
Hoffman makes sense. He adds offence. These "top 6/bottom 6" labels don't really apply. The team needs to add scoring, and 5v5 whoever they acquire likely lines up on the 3rd line and then slides onto the 1st PP unit.
