The New Jersey Devils announced on Monday afternoon, that they signed their top pick in the 2018 entry draft, defenseman Ty Smith. Smith was the 17th overall selection, scouted as one of the top skaters in his draft class and now becomes the 23rd player in the class to sign his entry-level deal.Smith played with the Spokane Chiefs of the WHL last season, putting up 73 points in 69 regular season games, certainly among the elite defenders in his class, numbers-wise. The Devils certainly have some bubble players on their blueline, but there won't be any rush to get an 18-year old out there, but I suppose you never know. I will be waiting to see how far he makes it in camp before I start throwing projections out there, if at all.
