Welcome to the first of many draft prospect profiles here on A Winning Habit. The idea is to learn more about many of the prospects the Canadiens could potentially select with the fifth overall pick in this year’s NHL Entry Draft. Today, we’ll be looking at Will Smith from the United States National Team Development Program.
Smith is coming off a great year in which he put up 127 points in 60 games this year, shooting up the draft rankings in the process. The centre is committed to play college hockey for Boston College next season, assuming he doesn’t start in the NHL.
