2025 Fantasy Outlook
Virtually nothing changed in Smith's usage from 2023-24 to 2024-25, but the winger experienced significant drops in production across the board. He was limited to 12 points, 69 shots on net, 69 PIM, 163 hits and a minus-15 rating last season, a drop of 11 points, 43 shots on net and 72 hits from the prior year. He's still a high-end physical winger, but that level of offense is unplayable in most fantasy formats. The Predators should bounce back as a team, but Smith is not a player most fantasy managers will need to keep a close eye on. Read Past Outlooks
Signed a two-year, $2 million contract extension with the Predators in January of 2024.
Dealt to Vegas
Smith was traded to the Golden Knights from the Predators on Tuesday in exchange for Christoffer Sedoff and a 2028 third-round pick.
ANALYSIS
Smith was officially in the lineup Tuesday for Nashville, but logged just one three-second shift. The 30-year-old will now take his talents to Vegas, where he'll reunite with Colton Sissons as a fixture in the Golden Knights' bottom six. Smith fits in well for a physical bottom six in Vegas, and he should also be part of his new team's penalty-killing structure. Smith has just 10 points in 42 outings this season, though he's added 119 hits and 31 PIM, with his toughness being his best asset.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
A bottom-six wrecking ball, Smith posted nine goals, 14 assists, 235 hits and 63 PIM while averaging 13:41 of ice time over 80 regular-season contests. He's a good fit with a Predators team that values grit down the lineup, but that hardly makes him a reliable fantasy producer. Smith's ice time is likely to take a hit following Nashville's signings of Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault, which will push most forwards down a spot in the lineup. Smith's still got value as a physical presence and penalty killer, but most fantasy managers don't need to prioritize drafting him this fall.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely set for trade
Smith is expected to be traded after he took just one shift Tuesday versus the Blue Jackets, Mark Scheig of The Hockey Writers reports.
ANALYSIS
Nashville dealt Michael McCarron to the Wild just before the game started. Smith was almost a scratch himself, but he suited up and took one shift in the first period before retreating to the locker room. With Smith likely also on the move, the Predators will have openings in the bottom six for young players to get an audition, while Smith will add grit to a contender once a deal is made.
