Hey Brodie, I was so impressed with the trajectory of Smith's rookie season. Lots of people had suggestions about what he needed to do and if he should spend time with the Barracuda but, like his freshman year in college Smith had to adjust to his new team and the level of play once that was managed in both years he took off like a rocket and really proved his value.
It will be very interesting to see how Will fares in his second year with the same environment plus some new teammates? It seems Will prefers to be a centerman so we will see if this is his time to play his natural position or will he like Patty and Thomas spend more time playing the wing until his overall game rounds into form?
Regardless I am very excited to see his sophomore season and see how he copes with the league now that he is familiar a bit better and more importantly as the league becomes more acquainted with him!

Hi, freely admit I was one of the ones yelling this guy wasn’t ready. Very happy to be very wrong
so pleased to see him rise in the second half of the season when most of the other rookies were on a decline
Let's go sharks
Number thing 1 to watch: Brodie Brazil. Great stuff
I think Will Smith will end up having one of the nastiest shots in the NHl.
