You need competition in camp.
Also, while I have been a fan of Smith's play, I do not think he is anywhere close to being a certainty in the lineup. I think Breen has a legitimate shot at the #7 spot.
Also, I believe that the NHL has removed the 23 man roster limit for now. So there could well be 8 d-men here.
