Instead of our usual Kraken Reaction branding, this video might be more accurately labeled a "Duck Call." That's because defenseman Tarin Smith was chosen not by Seattle in June's NHL Draft but by their Pacific Division rival, Anaheim.
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. Check out this video at the end.
