I don't know of anything that he's doing particularly well right now. With Mookie on the horizon and guys like Bahl / Okhotiuk who can at least provide a third d-man pairing plug, I kind of feel like he needs to be worried about his job at some point.

Far too soon to give up on the kid. Plus, he's Jack's best friend and roommate. Not likely too worried about his job.

Maybe that's the problem. He needs to be. Graves and Siegenthaler aren't going away. Colton White is better but isn't a prospect, so I get why you don't play him over Smith. But at some point those other guys need to pass him in the queue.

I mean, he's legitimately not an NHL player right now. 

I think this is false. He's been better lately but just had one bad gaffe in a game where we're playing terribly shorthanded. It's gonna happen.

Nah

This isn't just this game. He's typically hugely responsible for at least a goal a night it seems like at this point. He's been bad all season.

Eventually he'll have to get better or they have to make some sort of decision. Or the team can just continue to suck for poor decisions. Doesn't matter right now because the team sucks and is going nowhere this year so you can let him fight through it, but this season has been pretty bad. Big time Sophomore slump that hopefully goes away next year.

I just said he's been better as of late. He was fine in December. Far too early to give up on the kid. He hasn't even played a full season of games in his career yet.

It's been 79 games total and 31 games this year.
