I prefer smith over poj at this point. I like the way smith gets out of his own zone via skating or passing. I felt like he walked the line very well on the powerplay and showed confidence in tough situations. I also feel that poj has better trade value because of his stellar last season. So if I'm moving on from 1, it's poj. I also just think smith's speed and breakouts will help the d and offense spend less time in their own zone. If the Karlsson trade doesn't happen, then I would like to see poj packaged with grandland for a prospect or another 3rdliner.
Defensive pairings for Pittsburgh this year. Letang/ Graves. Karlsson/ Petterson. Rutta/Smith. P.O Joseph, DeSmith, and a first-round pick go to San Jose for Karlsson.
