19-Year-Old CenterC
San Jose Sharks
2024 Fantasy Outlook
While much of the attention will be on Macklin Celebrini, Smith also figures to be a key rookie for the Sharks in 2024-25. Smith's playmaking is his best trait after he racked up 25 goals and 46 assists in 41 appearances for Boston College as a freshman last season. The 19-year-old was selected fourth overall in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, so Smith has plenty of pedigree as a prospect. Look for Smith to push for 40-plus points, though his plus-minus is likely to be poor as the Sharks work through at least one more year of a deep rebuild. Read Past Outlooks
$Signed a three-year, entry-level contract with the Sharks in May of 2024.
Three-game, five-point streak
CSan Jose Sharks
March 1, 2025
Smith scored a power-play goal in a 5-3 loss to the Senators on Saturday.
ANALYSIS
Smith has two goals and three assists during his five-point streak (two goals, three assists), and he has 13 points (four goals, nine assists) in his last 13 outings. Don't over-invest in single-year formats. Smith is on a nice run, and he certainly has talent -- he sits in a tie for fourth in the NHL rookie chase with 28 points. But he's just 19 years of age, and in the last three seasons, he's played a total of 97 games, including 41 at Boston College last season. Smith will invariably hit the exhaustion wall that all young college players hit.

Close to entry-level deal?
CSan Jose Sharks
May 28, 2024
Smith could sign a three year, entry-level contract with San Jose as soon as Tuesday, per David Pagnotta of The Fourth Period.
ANALYSIS
Smith logged 25 goals and 71 points in 41 games for Boston College during his freshman season in 2023-24. The fourth overall pick also participated in the World Championship with Team USA, failing to earn a point in five games. He will likely be able to crack San Jose's roster out of training camp in the fall.
