Wow, Shesty truly carrying the Rangers lol. Now that is 5v5 and doesn't include special teams but Rangers having that low 5v5 impact is bad. Pens having it that high shows either goaltending or special teams are killing them</div></div>

I feel bad for PIT. They are dominating but have had to play with their 3rd string goalie because of injuries. Its similar to what COL had to do with Hutchinson in net vs DAL a couple years ago

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Xqb15a</b></div><div>Yeah that was not suppose to be physical it was suppose to be about his production (sorry). He isn’t a top 6 player, He doesn’t take face offs, the majority of his starts are in the offensive zone, and maybe most importantly he doesn’t produce in the playoffs, I mean literally the last 4 playoffs 0,1,5,0 points. Way better ways to spend $3.1M.</div></div>

He isnt supposed to be a top 6 player. I think 3RW is a good spot for him.

His oZS% was 51.9%, pretty much even

Playoff production history for depth players isnt as important as it is for star players + goalies imo. Each year is usually such a small sample size and it varies a lot year to year - look at Kadri in TOR - the narrative was that he could never be a playoff performer and would always get suspended and now hes scoring over a point per game in the postseason in COL. A lot of UFAs this year actually have poor histories of playoff production: Trocheck, Rust, Jarnkrok, Domi, Mikheyev, Niederreiter, Copp, etc (with some of them actually producing this year which just shows how playoff production varies)

There are definitely other ways to spend that $ (probably better ways tbh) but I dont think Smith is a bad option at all
