Smith’s biggest impact comes defensively, always chasing down the puck carrier, lifting their stick, and skating through the hands. He catches opponents with big hits, beats them for possession along the wall, and keeps his feet moving through every interaction. -EliteProspects 2024 NHL Draft Guide
