Prospect Info: D Ty Smith

[beekay414]

Ty Smith 2+2 after first period against Thunderbirds.

 

[Triumph]

Has the hat trick now along with 3 assists. Guess we can put that stagnating talk to bed now.

 

[Blackjack]

bust

Screw it, keep him where he is comfortable (the right side). I know we need LD but why force him somewhere he doesn't play?

What if he's perfectly comfortable on the left side? Everyone is different, seems like a weird thing to decide when he hasn't played an NHL game.

He's played the right side almost every step of the way. IIRC he struggled on the left side with the Devils in camp. Sure, if he can play the left side, do it, but he's obviously very comfortable offhand.

Seems like ages ago, but didn't pretty much all of our defensemen struggle in camp? I mean, if he plays better on the right side than the left I'd have no problem putting him there.

I'm just saying, the reason he didn't make the team was because he struggled on the left side. If he can play it, you obviously put him there. If not? Yeah, you have an offhand player who excels on that side.

 

[Figgie]

Decent 3+5. 4 primary assists.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

8 points?!? Wow

 

[beekay414]

 

[Blackjack]

Great, now when people talk about his point totals someone will say “yeah, but if you take away that 8 point game...”

 

[Ripshot 43]

Decent 3+5. 4 primary assists.

8 points?!? Wow

Amazing week for Ty.... oh wait, that was is 1 game?!?!

 

[EXTRAS]

What's most points by a dman in a single game?

 

[NJDevs26]

Guess he's rocking the 'stache now

[Devils731]

It’s always nice when you break your own record.

 

[Devils731]

Ty Smith’s game last night was a pretty good month for a lot of defenders in his league.

 

[NJDevils17]

Having an unreal return from WJC.

 

[RSeen]

I can see Smith getting a start on our top PP unit if he is ready next season. Would expect he starts with Subban or Severson as well.

i would love if he’s ready but if Smith is playing against every teams top line night in and night out he would become the best whipping boy.

Edit: meant to say next instead of best but best works too.

he already accomplished everything there was to accomplish in the W last year, good that he’s moved on to more important goals

 

[Guttersniped]

One of the great things about Smith is he’s said to be such a huge leader in the locker room. I‘m a little foggy on the specifics but I remember at the U18 they asked guys which other player they would like to be on the same team with in the NHL and Smith was the one with the most shout outs.

[Camille the Eel]

Point of caution here, and what did Brian Sakic accomplish thereafter in the NHL despite his 10 points in a single game league record ?

 

[The Wumpus]

I was skeptical, but the Smith 'stache actually works.

Playing as a top pair D is a lot to ask a player that will be 20 to start the season. The team should do what is best for Smith long term.
