San Jose Sharks selected Will Smith with the No. 4 overall pick in the first round of Wednesday’s NHL Draft in Nashville, Tennesse
Smith, 18, is considered a game-breaking type of centerman who possesses terrific vision and hockey sense. He had 127 points in 60 games for the U.S. National under-18 team this past season and his skillset has drawn comparisons to Vancouver’s J.T. Miller and Anaheim’s Trevor Zegras.
The Sharks met with Smith at the NHL combine earlier this month, sitting down to have dinner with him, and came away impressed on a personal level and excited about his potential. The Sharks also have the No. 26 overall pick in the first round, which they acquired from New Jersey as part of the Feb. 16 trade that sent Timo Meier to the Devils.
