Ty Smith is a great defensive prospect, is a quick skater, good edges and high offensive instinct but I actually don't think his value is anything better, or perhaps even equal to, Alex Newhook alone. Newhook was just named Hockey East Rookie of the Year in the NCAA - he's playing with guys a fair bit older than him as well. Smith was an overager this year and, as with most defenders his age, has some cons when it comes to the defensive side of his game.
