December 23, 2022
Smith might make his Panthers debut Friday versus the Islanders, per George Richards of Florida Hockey Now.
ANALYSIS
Smith was acquired by Florida from Detroit on Monday, and he was called up by the Panthers from the AHL on Friday. The 24-year-old has two goals, five points and 45 PIM in 20 AHL contests this season. In the NHL, he's recorded seven goals, 14 points, 138 PIM and 160 hits in 85 career games.

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.
Smith is a fiery junior-league competitor who's found a second home in the penalty box having been named the OHL's most penalized player in back-to-back seasons from 2015-17. Still, he's far from a slouch in the attacking zone based on his output of 73 goals and 62 assists through 236 games split between the Barrie Colts, Guelph Storm and Kitchener Rangers. Given Smith's lofty draft profile -- he was Detroit's second-round (46th overall) draft pick in 2016 -- the 20-year-old should be modestly owned in keeper/dynasty formats, but it's unlikely that he'll bypass the AHL in 2018-19 and that would render him a rather futile option in most redraft leagues.
