Don't think so. I like Smith a bunch. But there is no reason right now to expect much more out of the man.
And that 1st isn't going anywhere until Tree has a clear view where that pick is going to end up. But, with an acquisition like Bobrovsky, I think the Flames would be kind of putting that pick right where they'd be comfortable letting it go (high 20's).
