Rangers’ Bold Move on Smits | NHL News
The New York Rangers pulled off a major coup by selecting Alberts Smits fifth overall — the highest-drafted Latvian ever — to solve their defense woes. Standing 6’3”, he’s a physical, high-IQ force with Olympic experience and a strong pro season under his belt. Ranked the second-best international skater, Smits brings elite potential and immediate impact, though some questioned whether Chase Reid — the top-ranked defenseman — might’ve been the better pick. Now it’s up to Smits to prove the Rangers made the right call. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn…
