We'll see

as of right now... I'm a big fan of Makar, the gap is not that big

As Machinehead said, I think Smith is definitely more certain. He has a lower ceiling but a higher floor. I think K'Andre could be anywhere from a good bottom pairing guy with offense to a legit #1 defenseman.

Smith imo, is only behind Dahlin for the best drafted (or undrafted I guess) defenseman since 2017.

I'm convinced he's going to be the next Duncan Keith, except be that good at age 21 instead of 25.

Miller is much more of a long term prospect who could turn out better than Smith, however ATM Smith is the better prospect. They both are pretty different players though so its an interesting comparison

I’d take Dobson over both but K’Andre plays nothing like Klingberg (or even Burns.) Don’t know how you came to that

His playstyle is a lot like Seth Jones, K’Andre actually models his game after Jones and Greg Moore compared them as well. He’s not really an offensive defenseman. It’s hard to really define Miller’s game though

jones is a good comp as well. i guess he is a bit more n/s than klingberg and not as good hands but they both play with a certain poise and smoothness

I'll go with Smith for now, but Miller could end up being the better long term prospect.

Oh that was a perfectly care comment, I was just joking around because of Cale's dream-debut & potentially higher ceiling.

I know that prior to the draft a ton of Devils fans had Miller as their most wanted guy at #17, but that was because no one imagined that Smith would still be on the board.

I was very happy to take I guy I never dreamed would still be there, but was a little miffed the Rangers ended up getting the guy I originally was hoping for.

I think the only correct answer right now is that currently Smith is the better prospect but they both have tremendous upside, and either could easily end up being the better player in the long run.

Both players are much better than their draft positions and will likely end up being top-10 in future redrafts (possibly top-5).
