Obviously Stockton has issues defensively. But you don't just replace a long term vet with some guy who's stinking it up in the AHL.

If the Flames wanted to replace Smith, the Leafs just got Michael Hutchinson for a late pick. Its not like you're going to have to give up a 2nd rounder from some AHL guy who's actually playing reasonable (i.e. Scott Wedgewood or Dustin Tokarski if you want a guy who's played in the NHL before).

Just because you don't see the guy play, doesn't mean he hasn't been awful. Some posters on here must think the sun doesn't come up if they keep curtains closed because they can't see it.
