This is getting ridiculous. Star forward?
This was a wasted pick because the Flames weren't aiming for a star forward with their 2nd round pick?
Why don't you enlighten us as to what potential star forward we missed out on (in your opinion) in the 2nd round that made this pick such a "waste"?
RW is a position of need for us all the way down the depth chart. Smith isn't going to turn into a top line or even 2nd line sniper... but to have a guy that big and physical who does have better than average hands and scoring would be a great return on that 2nd rounder even if he plays a secondary role for us in the future.
Acting like every 2nd round pick needs to turn into a "star" is complete nonsense.
