On that note, Janko was a "long term" prospect as well, and is expected to finally challenge for a NHL spot this upcoming season at the age of 22 as quite the promising package. We're entering his draft+5 season now.

Smith is 21 (late 2014 birthday) and is an older prospect as well, but he's only about to enter his draft+3 season. So hopefully this year we'll see a significant breakout from him, but even if it's a mediocre one I'd be surprised if he didn't recieve a QO (RFA after this season). Certainly not the type of prospect you give up on after only a season and a half's worth of AHL games.
