I think the answer is somewhere in the middle. From what I have seen, Smith isn't a great puck handler like Price, Bishop, Holtby, or Rinne, but like Elliott he can handle the puck sufficiently and he loves to do so more than anybody in the league.
He's definitely not going to be Johnson or Hiller bad behind the net, those guys were just a cringe-fest and a half.
