During my daily perusal of #PredsTwitter, I recently saw a spate of suggestions that Kyle Turris should move to wing on the second line, and Craig Smith be moved to the third line. Any of you that follow me by now are used to my rants—Craig Smith has played consistently well the last few years, and he shouldn’t be moved.
The criticism for him—as well as Filip Forsberg—is that both of them are “streaky” (be warned: I’m going to use the terms “streaky” and “streakiness” a bunch, so settle in). In fact, despite Forsberg being one of my favorites, I’ve said this about him too—he scores in bunches, then goes cold for some time.
