Today’s challenge, say something nice about Smith
He didn’t hit Chris Rock at the Oscars, but he will hit double-digits in goals…
6 points in 5 games. Really starting to figure it out.
Stewie Griffin
What the deuce
He's been paired with Granlund and they've been playing well together. Will be interesting what happens if Granlund gets traded.

This will affect Smith's game in a bad way. I hope Grier can keep Granlund

I wouldn't be surprised if he has a sophomore slump and only puts up 40-50, but still wouldn't be time to worry.

If the Sharks move him back to center and he drops 50 points, that would be a tremendous win for us IMO. That's my hope.

Got an assist in the first period tonight and now is on a 6 game point streak (2G, 5A, +7)

Have to toot Smittys horn once again (boy does that sound wrong):
After an up and down season and an especially rough stretch, something seems to have clicked since that game at TD Garden.
The Sharks are 1-8-3 in that stretch, being outscored 56 to 32 (- 24) in all situations, if someone has an easy way get the Even strength Numbers, i would appreciate that.
Despite that, Smith did not register a single game with a negative +/-.
His statline: 12 games, 3g, 8a, +8.

He would have been a plus last night, too, but he got tagged with a minus on the OT goal because he went on the ice for Zetterlund who was gassed and fell into the net after missing a 2-on-1. Nothing Smith could have done to stop the goal.

If they don't win the lottery, hopefully a team that is shooting for a franchise center does and leaves Schaefer there for the Sharks.
I would try to package the Stars 1st and the Sharks 2nd to get into the teens and go for Hensler.
Good kid, I think he'll end up as solid a 2C as there is in the NHL with upside good for him. Real good player.

RN it's def Montreal and SJ for the best young core in the NHL, can't dispute it.

Wingers are pretty easy to replace compared to other positions. Hardest thing to get is RHD, especially huge, good skating RHD like Mrtka who is easily best RHD available in this draft. He is like Silayev with better offensive tools, more soft skills. It should be illegal to be able to move like that, while being 6'6", once he fills out, everybody watch out.
I think this will be a good learning test for him, if it happens.
The Sharksvwill be better off with the Grandlund return anyways.

Okay, but it's been a hole in the top 6 at RW for awhile
Not likely to land Mrtka given where our 2 1st rounders are likely to end up

Besides, Smith's game has only gotten better since the Granlund trade. Yes, we miss Granlund, but Smith doesn't. He's basically a PPG since Granlund left and three of those games were played with Andrew Poturalski.
This kid gets it. I knew he would, but it's nice to be rewarded for that faith given how truly awful he was the first 15-20 games of the season.
The hole isn’t that bad. We have Zetterlund, Graf and Chernyshov.
Chernyshov is looking like he probably has top 6 if not top line potential. Graf looks like he could be a defensively responsible middle six guy. And we know what we have in Zetterlund.
Add to it that Smith may be better suited for RW
That Graf kid has been fire both times we played you this year. I think it's not crazy to think he could plug into a second line at some point, still only 22.
