I'm not trying to keep flogging the guy. But no I dont think he's more talented. I like Smith quite a bit and while he might just be an AHL player, he's a pretty good one. Smith has the hands, the moves, the playmaking skills. His rookie year he lead the whole AHL something like 8/11 in shootouts. So to me that reason why folks hold Hishon in high regard because of that natural skill I don't think his talent in that area is much greater than Smith. And Smith is more reliable defensively, PKs and takes on tougher minutes.
Be hillarious if Hishon breaks through this year.
That'd be great. Then we could trade him for something valuable.
Be hillarious if Hishon breaks through this year.
I.e. Above 6'2".
It's been five years since Hishon was drafted. Losing basically two years of development hurts, especially for a guy that's undersized and needed to get stronger and comfortable playing against men.
He's talented, but time is quickly running out.
