Jack Smith, 102nd Overall


Commandant

Recommended Posts

He wasn't a player i ranked in my top 114, but I do like him. 

 

He's a centre with very good playmaking skills and good skating.  He was invited to play for the US NTDP, but opted to stay at home in Minnesota and go the high school route.  He is expected to go to North Dakota in 2021. He is a smart player who uses his linemates well.  His vision and passing skills are really good. He could get stronger and work on his shot.  Defence, its hard to say as the level of competition hasn't been high.

Seems was ranked very low or not at all. But can stuff him in USA hockey for numerous years and keep fingers crossed, so guess that is important, given all the picks they have in 2021.

Also his name is "Jack Smith." It's just really hard to get excited about a player named Jack Smith.

If it was Jacques Tremblay, there would be a few reporters excited. 

Nah, there would have been the same number of reporters asking why Timmins didn't select more QMJHL players.

 

I reckon that if the Habs used every draft pick on a Quebec born player, some reporter would ask why they didn't acquire another pick to draft one more.

With Jack Smith now on board, here are the trades I'd love us to make 

multi players deal with Columbus for  Eric Robinson and Ryan Murray
Wash for  Tom Wilson
Blues for Robert Thomas  
multi players deal with Anaheim for  Troy Terry and Max Jones

And, of course,  with Nashville for Craig Smith, making him our Captain.

Team colours change to beige.

 

Do you have a coach and GM in mind?
