2015-16 Report Card: Ladislav Smid

Samwell9 - F

Ladislav Smid came to the Calgary Flames in November 2013, after one of those almost unicorn like trades between the Alberta teams. Flames GM Jay Feaster was quoted at the time as saying "he's a guy who can play big minutes". Unfortunately, Smid has barely played any minutes at all for the Flames of late. When he has, the results have left a lot to be desired.

Injuries have really wreaked havoc on Smid's career. Already with a history of neck injuries, he was victimized December 12, 2014 from a brutal headshot by Simon Despres that was somehow deemed unworthy of even a one game suspension.
