Smith is not smarter with the puck, he's worse defensively, he has worse hockey I.Q in both ends of the rink, he's less physical, he is worse in transition, he's smaller, worse shot.
He is a better skater and passer (Dobson is an unbelievable skater regardless) and smoother, that's all I really give him at the moment. Dobson is flat out better than Smith in my opinion.
Sorry if I'm not taking a guy who has Dahlin the 3rd ranked prospect very seriously
It's fine, you like Smith and that's perfect. I won't agree for sure, but that's my perspective.
