So far I've only been able to see one highlight of Smith where he's actually scoring a goal and not kicking the crap out of Darnell Nurse, Nick Ritchie or some other unfortunate kid in the O. On the goal I saw, he found his way into a hole in coverage and fired a shot off the post and in. But if this makes any sense, it seemed like his puck skills were lacking - the shot was a rocket and went in but it seemed really accidental.
I'm hopeful he becomes a real player; I really like the idea of him riding shotgun with Monahan and Gaudreau.
If this turned into our lineup in three or four years, how does this grab everyone?
Gaudreau-Monahan-Smith
Baertschi-Bennett-Poirier
Klimchuk-Backlund-Jankowski
Bouma-Reinhart-Knight
Never in my life as a Flame fan have we had forward prospect depth like that.
