No, Rask had only played 41 games that year, so his stats were slightly better than Miller's but had played like 60% of the games Miller had. Yeah I agree about Bob, it also stops him going to the KHL. Smith won' live up to his contract. Pheonix's system and goalie coach help their goalies excel, last year Smith had very pedestrian stats.
But no-one wants to play for a bankrupt team in the desert that might move to the rain capital of the US. You have to entice them somehow. They need to have Smith to stay competitive
