The Detroit Redwings and Wisconsin's Brendan Smith made it official Thursday - he's leaving UW one year early to play in the NHL. For many, this is something we've all been expecting. For some, this may come as a surprise. Smith led all defensemen in the nation with 15 goals and 52 points this season. He was a top-10 Hobey finalist as well.
He had 87 points in 95 career games.
This is hit to Wisconsin, but their D-corp is so deep that I don't think it's really going to matter too much. Yes, he's a great, dynamic player, but UW will move on and still contend in the WCHA next year.
