Definitely a swing-for-the-fences pick, Smith needs to sharpen his offensive weapons if he's going to be a legit power forward in the NHL. There aren't a ton of 6'7" wingers in the NHL, they tend to either lack the foot speed or break down physically. So that gives me concern. But I like the pick, kind of an antu-Gaudreau pick -- taking a chance on an oversized winger vs. undersized.
