I have this expectation that the Oilers are actually going to miss the playoffs next year. And that's not a guess, that's a spoiler.

Smith was horribly inconsistent stopping the puck but he definitely helped their D transition. Without that their D will struggle even more. A guy who is a career backup, suddenly becomes a starter for a team and then is not back after a year. Should be fun to watch the implosion, I am sure Kane won’t be a distraction through it at all.
