Brendan Smith is looking to win a job with the Detroit Red Wings in 2012-13. "That's the goal, it's attainable," Smith said. "I have to have a big summer. It sounds like a clich‚, about having a big summer, but I do have to have a big summer. I have to prove I want this job and take the job." Smith got a taste of life in the NHL in 2011-12 and ended up with seven points in 14 Red Wings games. His odds of winning a spot out of training camp will depend largely on Detroit's off-season moves.
