GM Chris Drury stresses that Smits’ potential is undeniable, but the team won’t rush him into the NHL. Instead, they’re prioritizing his development over the next 15 years, ensuring he’s mentally and physically ready. With veteran defensemen added to the roster and depth options in place, Smits — along with prospects like Fortescue, Greentree, and Beaudoin — will earn his spot through hard work, not pressure. The Rangers are betting on smart, sustainable growth — and time will tell if this strategy becomes their blueprint for success.
