You know what will help with Smith's struggles and confidence? Having his wingers be Goodrow and Kunin. I would have liked Cardwell with him but oh well
I wouldn't be so down on it. That line looked decent in a few games and generated some real chances. With a little puck luck I think they could get him his first point.

I think I'd be fine with him centering that line--you see talented kids on lines like this all the time around the league--if he were also getting some PP1 time. That's sort of the way to throw the skilled kid a bone (again, the kind of tradeoff you do see sometimes when those young players are playing with less-skilled guys 5-on-5).

This way, you give them the chance to show their stuff and get some points (and keeping their spirits up) while simultaneously learning the other sides of the game in less-pressurized roles.

Well, maybe later in the season.
