Relative to what was available, I believe they were poor picks.
I believe goalies are complete wildcards and should not be drafted that high.
As for Smith, I'll be a little more fair and say that it wasn't a bad pick, but a disappointing one. I still think Jack Glover would have been a wise choice with that pick (or we could have picked Hickey at 54, Glover at 64) and considering the team need for right shooting defencemen.
