Ty Smith... yes and pretty handily like you said.
Ty Smith pretty handily Id imagine right? I traded a TON of young D in a league that D weighs heabily in- lol! I did it because I thought I could rely on Ty Smith developing pretty quickly as the D NJ leans on. Theres no real argument for SJs young upside D man Merkley is there? Goal weighted format- G#, A@, ST+1, Hit/sog/block all add 0.1
Thoughts???
Ty Smith... yes and pretty handily like you said.
Ty Smith is the winner here. The only argument for Merkley is that his ceiling appears to be clearly higher than Smith. But because all of the other factors weigh in favor of Smith, he's the choice.
Another vote Ty Smith's way here.

Merkley has the better skillset and higher upside in my opinion, but Smith is closer to a sure thing and isn't a slouch himself.
Smith for me as well.

Easily Smith here.
Smith is certainly the safe choice here but if you want a swing for the fences pick with huge potential but more question marks than Trump's sanity then Merkley is your guy.
Smith. Much lower bust risk, generally similar upside.
