Has a player ever become more expendable on a roster than Zack Smith?
When he entered the league, he had all the makings of being a perfect 3rd line center. He could hit, he could skate with some speed, he was defensively aware, he could agitate and he exhibited a nice scoring touch with a good slapshot.
Now...he's the definition of comfortable. He doesn't hit anymore. He doesn't draw penalties, just takes them (usually at inopportune times) and he doesn't contribute offensively at all. This season, even his defensive play has suffered.
What happened to this guy?!?
