Smith inked a two-year contract with Kunlun Red Star (KHL) on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith -- who was selected by the Predators with the 54th overall pick in the 2007 NHL Draft -- will try his hand overseas after failing to break into the NHL the past two seasons. All of the netminder's NHL outings came back in 2016-17, when he made 10 appearances for the Avalanche, in which he went 1-6-1 with a 3.54 GAA. At this point, it's probably safe to assume the 30-year-old will close out his career in Europe.

Smith was reassigned to AHL Bridgeport on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith signed a two-way contract with the Islanders on Feb. 24. The Michigan native seemingly won't be joining the team for their postseason run, as he hasn't logged any NHL ice time since the 2016-17 campaign. Smith has two points through 42 games in the minors this season.

Smith signed a two-way contract with the Islanders for the remainder of the 2018-19 season.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was drafted in the second round by the Predators in the 2007 NHL Draft, but he first tasted NHL action in the 2016-17 season with the Avalanche, making 10 appearances and posting an .888 save percentage. Instead, he's been a minor-league guy for the last 10 seasons. During this campaign, he's posted a .900 save percentage and 16-9-1 record with AHL Bridgeport. The new contract allows the Islanders to recall Smith at any point. This could stir up trade rumors because Smith's services shouldn't be necessary with the Islanders, who have one of the best goaltender tandems in the league with Robin Lehner and Thomas Greiss.

Smith was placed on waivers Thursday for the purpose of reassignment, Renaud Lavoie of TVA Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's demotion to the minors was only matter of time as the Canes have both Scott Darling and Cam Ward under contract as their goaltending tandem. The 28-year-old Smith did suit up in 10 NHL contest for the Avalanche last season, before signing with Carolina in the offseason. Unless the team trades away Ward prior to the deadline -- or the injury bug bites -- Smith will spend the year with AHL Charlotte.

Smith will tend goal for Monday's preseason contest with Buffalo, Michael Smith of the team's official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Monday will be Smith's first appearance in a Carolina uniform, though the 28-year-old has suited up for five other organizations in eight seasons prior. Smith struggled mightily in the first 10 NHL games of his career with Colorado last season, but is a proven AHL goaltender and will provide organizational depth.

Smith signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Hurricanes on Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

It was a rough first stint in the NHL for Smith, posting a 1-6-1 record, .888 save percentage and 3.54 GAA -- not that it's easy to be a backstop in Colorado. The 28-year old will likely play close to a full AHL season for the Hurricanes' program as long as Scott Darling and Cam Ward are protecting the crease in Carolina.

Smith stopped 42 of 45 shots in Saturday's shootout loss to the Stars.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was far busier than opposing netminder Kari Lehtonen, and if one of his teammates had scored in the shootout, he may have come away with a victory. The 27-year-old closes out the season with two solid appearances, but his .888 save percentage puts some uncertainty around his future. Smith showed what he's capable of in Saturday's loss, but we'll need to see more of that from him at the NHL level before we put any stock in his fantasy value.

Smith will be in goal Saturday in Dallas, Rick Sadowski of NHL.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Colorado has back-to-back games to finish off the season, meaning Smith will play Saturday and watch Calvin Pickard in net Sunday. Smith has only made three appearances in the past month, recording a horrid .838 save percentage coupled with a 4.77 GAA. This start will be a good opportunity to show he has potential in the long term, but fantasy owners should steer clear for now.

Smith made 11 saves on 12 shots in relief during a 5-2 loss to the Wild on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

This is actually one of the rookie's better performances since making his NHL debut on Valentine's Day. But, that should say something about his fantasy value. Playing for the Avalanche, he has just one win in nine appearances and owns a .880 save percentage. An owner would have to be extremely desperate to dedicate a roster spot to Smith in the final week.

Smith surrendered six goals on 29 shots in Thursday's 7-4 loss to the Oilers.

EDGE Analysis

Smith seemed to be headed for his second career win when his team jumped out to a 4-2 lead through two periods, but five unanswered Oilers goals in the final frame squashed those dreams. The backup goalie for the last-place Avalanche carries nearly no fantasy value, and has posted a save percentage below .900 in five of seven starts.
