Instead of our normal video branding of Kraken Reaction, this one might more accurately be labled a “Duck Call.” That’s because defenseman Tarin Smith wasn’t chosen in June’s NHL Draft by Seattle but by Anaheim, their Pacific Division rival.
Smith earns a mention because he played for the Everett Silvertips. A consistent theme among players drafted from the ‘Tips is how well the organization prepares them to further their careers. As you’ll hear, Smith echoes those sentiments.
