Surely, credit given! I wish my two dreams of Carlsson had come true, though.Poster credit for my thread Sharks tank miss, now we get Smith
Who knows--I think there's a very real chance that Smith ends up the better player between him and Carlsson. Where would everyone put those odds? 33% chance, maybe?
How many times has the Michikov panned out, and how many times has he not?Well he's as tall as Patty so that's nice
I get passing on Michkov, as much of a painful one that might be if he does pan out. With all the terrible breaks the Sharks have been through leading up to us being where we are now, we really could not afford another one when a less risky 1C prospect was in front of us.
Imagine the mediocrity we'd be mired in if he never came over for whatever reason.
These comparisons are hilarious… Smith is nothing like Horvat style or ceiling wise

too hard to assign comparables, honestly. Are you talking a high-talent player who had issues that tanked his draft stock? Or are you talking Russian players signed to contracts?
The former. Kopitar is the premier example of the player planning out. I suppose PK Subban as well...
A more accurate comparison for Smith would be a slow Marner according to HFboards analysts.
The CBJ Kopitar draft story is a great one. Classic old-boy overthinking.
