‘Smith has been unsustainably good, but to suggest this was on purpose is such oiler logic.

Oilers ended up dodging a bullet by missing out on the Jacob Markstrom sweepstakes. They pivoted at that point and ended up with Tyson Barrie, that would not have happened if they had landed Markstrom. The problem for them this year with a flat salary cap is RNH and Barrie are UFA's, will be tough to sign them both.
