Bound for Russia Smith agreed to terms on a contract with Dinamo Minsk (KHL) on Thursday, Seth Rorabaugh of Tribune-Review Sports reports.

Impact Smith was not given a qualifying offer by the Penguins this offseason, and it appears he has been unable to land an NHL deal. The 25-year-old blueliner saw action in eight games for the Hurricanes last year in which he generated one goal on 14 shots, one assist and two hits while averaging just 13:40 of ice time. Given his age, it's possible Smith will get another shot at an NHL deal, but he will need to impress in the KHL first.

Doesn't receive qualifying offer Smith was not given a qualifying offer by the Hurricanes on Monday.

Impact Smith spent the bulk of the 2024-25 campaign playing in the minors, only suiting up with Carolina eight times. In those appearances, the 25-year-old defenseman managed one goal, one assist and 14 shots while averaging a mere 13:40 of ice time. The best Smith can likely hope for this offseason is a two-way deal, but he may have to settle for a minor-league-only contract.

Hurricanes Assign Ty Smith To Chicago | Carolina Hurricanes Defenseman has registered 1-1-2 in eight games with the Hurricanes

JANUARY 20, 2025 • NHL.COM

Dropped to AHL Smith was assigned to AHL Chicago on Monday.

Impact Smith was a healthy scratch for the last two games. He has one goal, one assist, 14 shots on net and five blocked shots in eight NHL outings this season. Carolina might recall Smith before Wednesday's matchup against Boston to provide some defensive depth.

JANUARY 20, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled from minors Smith was brought up from AHL Chicago on Tuesday.

Impact Smith's promotion could be an indication there is some concern on the Hurricanes' blue line ahead of Wednesday's matchup with Buffalo -- though he could simply be emergency depth coverage for the quick one-game road trip. In order to free up a roster spot, the team designated Frederik Andersen (knee) for injured reserve.

Hurricanes Assign Ty Smith To Chicago | Carolina Hurricanes Defenseman has registered 1-1-2 in eight games with the Hurricanes

JANUARY 12, 2025 • NHL.COM

Assigned to AHL Smith was assigned to AHL Chicago on Sunday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Smith had appeared in the Hurricanes' last eight games, recording a goal and an assist, in the absence of Shayne Gostisbehere (upper body). It appears that Carolina will dress five defensemen Sunday against the Ducks.

Hits waivers Smith was placed on waivers Saturday, per PuckPedia.

Impact It wouldn't be a surprise if Smith stayed with the Hurricanes to play in Sunday's matchup versus Anaheim if he doesn't get claimed. He has played in the last eight games, and Carolina doesn't have any extra defenders on the roster due to the absence of Shayne Gostisbehere (upper body). The 24-year-old Smith has one goal, one assist, 14 shots on net, five blocked shots and two hits in eight NHL appearances this season.

Generates helper Thursday Smith logged an assist and two shots on goal in Thursday's 6-3 win over the Maple Leafs.

Impact Smith picked up his first point over five outings in January when he assisted on an Eric Robinson tally. For the season, Smith has two points, 14 shots on net, three blocked shots and a plus-1 rating over seven NHL appearances. He continues to fill in on the third pairing while seeing power-play time in the absence of Shayne Gostisbehere (upper body), but Smith's limited production has yet to really move the needle in fantasy.

Pots power-play marker Smith scored a power-play goal in Tuesday's 4-3 shootout loss to the Blue Jackets.

Impact Summoned from AHL Chicago on the weekend to take the spot of Shayne Gostisbehere (upper body), Smith immediately slotted onto Carolina's first power-play unit and needed just two games to score his first goal in the NHL this season. The 24-year-old blueliner has always had offensive talent and was the 17th overall pick in the 2018 Draft, but defensive lapses have kept him from establishing himself at the top level. Smith could have some short-term fantasy value as a power-play specialist, as Gostisbehere lacks a firm timeline yet for his return.

Hurricanes Recall Ty Smith From Chicago | Carolina Hurricanes Defenseman has registered 3-7-10 in 13 games with the Wolves

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • NHL.COM

Back in NHL Smith was called up from AHL Chicago on Saturday, per Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site.

Impact The Hurricanes had only six defensemen on their roster before Smith was recalled. Smith last played in the NHL during the 2022-23 campaign with Pittsburgh, scoring once and adding three helpers in nine regular-season games. Smith had three goals and 10 points in 13 AHL appearances before his recall. He will likely be the seventh defenseman against the Devils on Saturday.

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Headed down to minors Smith was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Tuesday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Smith's demotion is a little curious, as it will leave the Canes without an emergency depth option on the blue line ahead of Tuesday's matchup with San Jose. The 24-year-old defenseman has yet to make an appearance for Carolina, with his last NHL game coming back in 2022-23 when he was with Pittsburgh. This likely won't be the last time Smith is moved between the NHL and AHL this year.

DECEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Recalled by Carolina Smith was recalled by the Hurricanes on Sunday, Walt Ruff of the Hurricanes' official site reports.

Impact Smith was sent to the AHL at the end of November, but he'll rejoin the Hurricanes to provide additional depth. He hasn't yet appeared in an NHL game this season, and he's unlikely to play a significant role during his upcoming stint with Carolina.

Impact Smith was recalled Friday, but he was a healthy scratch in a 6-3 loss to Florida. Smith has yet to see any action at the NHL level this season. He has three assists in four outings with AHL Chicago in 2024-25.

Loaned to AHL team Smith was assigned to AHL Chicago on Sunday.

Impact Smith has been a healthy scratch 13 times in the NHL this season, including the last eight games. He has three assists in four AHL appearances during the 2024-25 campaign.

Up from AHL Smith was summoned from AHL Chicago on Thursday.

Impact Smith hasn't appeared in a game with Carolina, but he has been a healthy scratch on seven occasions with the Hurricanes this season. He also has three assists in four outings with the Wolves in 2024-25. Although he's back with Carolina, he figures to serve as the team's seventh defenseman, which means he's unlikely to draw into the lineup unless there's an injury.

NOVEMBER 14, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returned to minor-league affiliate Smith was reassigned to AHL Chicago on Tuesday.

Impact Smith hasn't played for the Hurricanes yet this season but has been a healthy scratch in seven NHL games, including the last two. He has recorded three assists in four AHL outings during the 2024-25 campaign.
