  The Ice have traded away their superstar rookie Nice Smith to the Dragons for Isaiah Smyth and Justin Olive. Nice Smith of course is coming off the best rookie season since Hasheem Halim in season 4. Smith should absolutely thrive in this new offense that finds him matched alongside veteran Norberto Nolan. He will make them a pretty dynamic force this season. Isaiah Smyth is an extremely solid center returning to the Ice after 7 seasons behind Nolan and a very good Justin Olive in his 3rd season will start with the Ice at guard opposite Rudolph Jackson.
