And they're not doing the same thing. That's my point.
Think back to the development curve of every single guy on this team, and not a single one of our defenders really hit their stride until maybe their 3rd or 4th season in the NHL. You have to go back to Fischer to get someone who was playing top four routinely within his first couple seasons, but still getting reamed by a lot of fans routinely.
So wait, you're just focusing on Smith? What about Ericsson and Kindl?
