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

Pots goal in loss

CSan Jose Sharks

April 11, 2025

Smith scored a goal and added two PIM in Friday's 4-2 loss to the Oilers.

ANALYSIS
Smith scored for the fourth game in a row -- he has five goals and three assists in that span. He got the Sharks on the board in the first period of this contest. Smith is up to 18 goals, 45 points, 122 shots on net, 18 PIM and a minus-10 rating over 71 appearances. Fantasy managers in redraft formats should have the 20-year-old on their radar by now, as he's put together a strong rookie season.

Latest Fantasy Rumors

Headed for Worlds

CSan Jose Sharks

April 23, 2025

Smith will join Team USA at the 2025 IIHF World Championship, Sheng Peng of San Jose Hockey Now reports Wednesday.

ANALYSIS
Smith is coming off a stellar rookie season in which he generated 18 goals and 27 assists in 74 appearances, including 12 power-play points. Those numbers were good enough for him to finish fourth overall in scoring among NHL rookies, which was slightly overshadowed by teammate Macklin Celebrini, Matvei Michkov and Lane Hutson. If Smith can perform well at Worlds and then start off strong to open the 2025-26 campaign, it may be difficult for Team USA to leave him off the 2026 Winter Olympic roster.
