Alberts Smits 2026 NHL Draft profile.

Scouting read

Smits is a big defensive defenseman with a Offensive Defenseman profile. Multi-team pro season; projects as two-way defenseman with secondary offense (Sportsnet, Jason Bukala). He also drew a 2026 NHL Combine invite. The question is how much offense comes with the package against better pressure. That still leaves enough for a top-four projection. He is in the first-round mix, with a #2-#15 public range across 15 tracked lists. NHL Central Scouting has him 2nd among International skaters. For context, his 13 points in 38 games (0.34 P/GP) rank 44th of 105 among LIIGA U19 since 2000 at a 35-game floor.
