Smith played with Bollig for much of the year and Bollig was tied for the team lead in goals, while Bollig isn't an NHLer anymore he is hardly a plugger in the AHL, iirc he has also played with Angelidis a lot another guy who may not be an NHLer but is not a plug in the AHL either. Smith has looked good, but there is no reason to downplay his linemates to make him look better.
