Ben Smith Facts

Drafted: 2008 round 6 #169 overall by Chicago Blackhawks
Agency: Premium

Smith is a smart player in all three zones, and is an excellent skater. He makes efficient passes to generate offense, and excels at reading plays and being in the best place positionally. Very strong along the boards and in front of the net.
