Smith never improved anything. He just didnt or couldn't, but Leason has shown so far he can. It's a very black and white thing for me. If he commits to the training like a pro athlete, hes a mark stone.
That's a bold statement...if this over ager that has only started playing well against 16 and 17 year olds after he turned 19 commits to training...he is (not may be) the next Mark Stone...a selke caliber top line right winger...I think some tempering of expectations for the draft is once again required...
