Smith signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Sabres on Monday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has spent the season with AHL Rochester -- the Sabres' minor-league affiliate -- so the Sabres are now able to recall the 27-year-old to the big club at any point. The winger has produced four points and 27 PIM over 21 AHL games this year. According to Mike Harrington of The Buffalo News, the new deal means Smith is part of the Sabres' 23-man roster, so he'll either be assigned to Rochester soon or strick with the big club for Tuesday's game against the Lightning.
