While they are a new franchise, I would argue that Demarcus Smyth will go down as the GOAT player for New Orleans. The Spectors may have a bright future ahead of them, but Smyth has the advantage of having been a massive part of the journey from expansion team to Challenge Cup winning powerhouse. He’s a part of the trio of players who have played the 450 games since the team’s inception along with Nicholas Williams and Joe Kurczewki. But he has outshone those two and truly cemented himself as the leader of the offence for the Spectors across his career. Not only does he lead in the franchise in goals scored, putting away 165, or roughly 1 goal every three games he has played across his career with the team, but he also leads in assists with a staggering 231. Needless to say this puts him as the points leader for the franchise as well. Any time a player is not only the leader goal-scorer but is also the best playmaker, they have to be in contention for the best in franchise history. Finally, Smyth truly shows himself to be far and away the rest of the team with a career +/- of +112, 14 higher than the next closest player.
