Ty Smith isn't ready for the NHL just yet.
Despite making a serious push for the NHL roster at Devils training camp, the 17th overall pick of June's NHL Draft was reassigned on Friday to his junior team, the Spokane Chiefs in the WHL.
Smith won't be eligible to rejoin the Devils until his season in the WHL is over. At that point, he would be eligible to play out the remainder of the year with the Devils in the NHL or the Binghamton Devils in the AHL, if either have games left.
