None of these prospects really excite me, but I might as well go with the more recent draft picks as they haven't had a chance to level off in a pro league yet.
I want to like Hunter Smith, I really do, but plays seem to die on his stick. I've only seen him in the pre-season and prospect tourney, but his hands and ability to keep a play going are not great. I actually think his skating is fine for such a big guy. It's his hands and playmaking ability that will need to be improved to get a shot at the NHL.
