His best days were in Edmonton but I liked him when he was in Toronto even though they had a crappy team at the time. There’s a good photo set here of Smith in the Blue and White courtesy Vintage Leafs.

Thanks GB.
Just added a new photo to the set this evening.

In hindsight, Jason Smith, along with Alyn McCauley and Steve Sullivan, was quite the pickup for a player who didn’t even want to remain in Toronto in Doug Gilmour.

Note to Self

Research this trade for “Greatest Trades” series.

didn’t he have another year on his contract with the Sens? I was sad to see him sign with them.
Anyways, he was a fearless leader, everyone gives Pronger credit for the Oilers’ great run, but Smith was beaten, bruise and bloodied those playoffs and kept on going.

I always liked Jason Smith and was real disappointed when the Leafs let him go. Certainly in Edmonton especially he became the heart and soul leader I thought he would be in a Leaf uniform.

Being a Leaf fan here requires one to be sufficiently lubricated... and truculent!
