Wednesday's Dump & Chase: Craig Smith-The Preds' Best Forward?

I guess so, right? He's got 40 points, 2 less than Shea Weber, but 5 more than anyone else who's still on the team. And what's up with Nick Spaling? He's got as many goals as Cullen and Stalberg COMBINED. Great job by both of these guys in an otherwise very disappointing season.
