29-Year-Old Left WingLW
Nashville Predators
2024 Fantasy Outlook
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. Read Past Outlooks

Smith notched an assist in Sunday's 5-3 win over the Canucks.
ANALYSIS
Smith has two points over his last three games after going eight contests without getting on the scoresheet. The 29-year-old's offense is likely to remain limited since he plays almost exclusively on the fourth line with no power-play time. Smith is up to four points, 18 shots on net, 46 hits, 13 PIM and a minus-7 rating through 19 appearances.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Smith ended up seeing a full workload in the NHL last year, racking up 17 points, 198 hits, 64 shots on goal and 60 PIM through 69 games. Those kinds of numbers make it a near guarantee he'll be a bottom-six fixture if he can maintain his spot in the lineup heading into 2023-24. Smith could still take a small step forward on offense, but he's unlikely to produce much more than 20 points in a full season. Fantasy managers can find both depth scoring and physicality from more productive sources on draft day.
