What? Smith has been awesome.
On pace for 19 goals, 24 points with strong two-way play and a physical bent to his game. What more can you ask from a guy who makes under 2 million and has spent the majority of his ice time on the 4th line beside Neil?
This.
SO
MUCH
THIS!!
He's been quite good in his 4th line role but he should be nowhere near the top line. He still floats out there too much for a player with his limited skills.
Put the guy on the 4th line or trade him. No place for Zack Smith in a top 6 role.
I've actually been impressed with Smith's play at 2nd line wing. For him playing way out of his depth at a position he failed miserably at last time we tried this he's been, just ok. Definitely a better top 6 winger than the incredible Borocop. Keep up the good work Cammy! Shane who...?

Should he be there? Hell no. But until Cameron gets his head out of his ass we appear to be stuck with it.
His numbers over the last 8 games are bad for a 4th line forward playing limited minutes with no PP time. Now for a top 6 forward with top 6 minutes and on the PP ...
Smiths Last 8 games totals: 1 Goal, 0 assists, -1, 7 shots
This puts him him firmly in, or perhaps below, Greening neighbourhood.
And then you look at borows numbers in the top 6 and people wonder why were struggling of late.
Yet we have 8 points in 17 games sitting in the pressbox.
I don't like using this word, but that is ****ing ********.
Edit: looks like HF doesn't like using that word either but I wanted it for emphasis lol.
