2025 Fantasy Outlook
Smith has spent six seasons in the NHL, but he's never had a significant role, and his usage has fallen off recently. He made just 13 appearances between the Sharks and Avalanche during the 2024-25 regular season, and he failed to record a point and logged 20 hits, 18 PIM and five blocked shots while averaging 6:20 of ice time. He signed a professional tryout agreement with Carolina in late August, but even if he makes the Opening Night roster, he'll likely have a minimal fantasy impact. Read Past Outlooks

Heads to AHL
Smith went unclaimed on waivers and was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Saturday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.
ANALYSIS
Smith inked a one-year, two-way contract with Carolina on Friday and was promptly put on waivers. Although he's starting the season in the minors, earning that two-way contract out of training camp makes him a call-up option should the Hurricanes run into injury troubles. Smith had nine goals, 22 points and 268 PIM across 168 career regular-season NHL games, so it wouldn't be surprising to see the 27-year-old get some work with the big club at some point during the upcoming campaign.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2020
2018
Smith spent the bulk of the 2019-20 campaign with AHL Grand Rapids, but the physical winger will forever remember that year as one in which he made his grand entrance into the NHL. Primarily serving as an injury reinforcement, Smith ended up with two goals and an assist through 21 contests at the top level. He already drives opponents batty with his abrasive playing style, but Smith needs to improve his skating in order to be trusted with a consistent role with the parent club.
