Some thought Smyth might retire this off-season as age has certainly caught up to him. He was held to only two goals in 47 games last season and is no longer a top-six forward. With his ice time dwindling, Smyth may still decide to hang up the skates, but as of early August, he is slotted to play on the third line with little to no power play time. The Oilers won't cut him however, even though he is no longer an offensive force. His value is as a mentor to the young Oiler forwards. Avoid him come draft day.
