Brendan Smith has been called up by the Detroit Red Wings. Blueliner Mike Commodore was shipped to Tampa Bay, so Smith will be presented with a big opportunity. If he stays on the Red Wings management's good side, he might stick with the team for the remainder of the season. Smith has some offensive upside and he spends plenty of time in the sin bin, so he could be a valuable fantasy asset in a couple of seasons. In the short term though, we can't recommend picking him up in standard leagues.
