Bertuzzi actually produced decently at lower levels though
Smith is 21 and had 13 points in 64 AHL games this year I honestly have severe doubts that he'll even be good enough to be a 4th liner in the NHL
he was literally outproduced by Brian Lashoff on the same team in less games....
Well he might not but I think he can, can’t measure everything with stats he brings physicality and toughness which we don’t have, we just don’t we would get runned over easily in the playoffs
And this is his first ahl season, far too soon to right him off , he had a 23 and 26 goal season in the juniors don’t expect him to get anything close to that but again I’m going with the other parts of his game which I think we sorely lack
I’m sure there’s a lot of guys on teams bottom lines that are playing and had mediocre numbers , Ryan reeves comes to mind can’t picture him dominating the ahl
Anyways we’ll see what happens you might be right but I’m choosing to be hopeful and seeing smith running guys down in a few years
