Smith’s puckhandling is a huge asset to this team....see Islander and many many other games. He substantially diminishes opponents time in Flames zone.

It's like Johnny's giveaways. They happen because he's always handling the puck and trying stuff. You accept the odd one that ends badly and move on.
The reason Smith waits, BTW, is that usually he's good enough to trap a forward deep by waiting. He blew it this time. Of all Smith's play, puckhandling is the least of my worries.
