Smith signed a one-year, $775,000 contract with Pittsburgh on Saturday.
Scouting Report
The No. 17 overall pick in the 2018 NHL Draft is a prototype of the modern-day, top-four defenseman: he is an excellent skater who can drive offense from the back end and play huge minutes on a nightly basis. Put up huge scoring totals in junior hockey but has to get stronger and round out his game to thrive in the NHL as he begins to approach his prime.
Long Range Potential: Mobile, offensive-minded defenseman.
