Mike Smith began his career in Dallas, where he was thought of highly enough to be traded for Brad Richards in the prime of his career. He spent three years in Tampa and never played more than 42 games.
Smith established himself as a full-time starter when he was 29. The notion of any of our goalies being remotely close to ready was always foolish.
