Probably the first defender off the board in the 2022 WHL Bantam draft. Smith plays with an edge and uses his mobility to move well around the ice. He is good at covering his gaps and stopping zone entries. He is physical and uses his stick well to separate players from the puck. His shot from the point is intimidating and does a goo job using his vision to create good outlet passes. It’ll be interesting to see how he progresses moving forward!

He is playing with Tri-City, got two assists in Saturday's game

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

He has a lot of potential. I think he'll be a first or second round pick just on his potential. He's 6'3, a very good skater with a considerable puck game. But he makes too many defensive mistakes. He needs to learn to eliminate those, and then he can be very good. If he does, he can be an early first round pick. I don't think that can be ruled out.

Had just 6 points in the first 25 games of the year. 13 points in 17 games since then. Ever since he scored his first goal on New Year's Eve the points have come flooding in. Incredibly confident with the puck all over the ice. This kid's gonna be a superstar in the WHL for the next three years.

Scouts will be watching him very closely and the teams scoring leader Jordan Gavin as well for the 25 draft.
