— Toronto Marlies (@TorontoMarlies) January 3, 2018Smith is an obvious choice for captain. He’s an experienced veteran who is also doing a lot of goal scoring (15 goals so far), he’s good with the media, has a great attitude and is pretty much the embodiment of Mike Babcock’s idea of a good pro.
The only player who comes close to that on the team is Colin Greening, and there he is as an alternate.
