  06/21/2024 • By RotoWire

  Smith signed a one-year, two-way contract with the Hurricanes on Friday. Smith was acquired by Carolina from Pittsburgh on March 7 as part of the trade that sent Jake Guentzel to the Hurricanes. The 24-year-old Smith was set to become a restricted free agent in July after completing a one-year deal. He had nine goals and 43 points in 63 regular-season contests with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton in 2023-24. Smith didn't make an appearance at the top level last season, but he does have eight goals and 47 points in 123 career NHL games.

• Hurricanes' Ty Smith: Sent to Carolina with Guentzel

  03/08/2024 • By RotoWire

  Smith and Jake Guentzel were traded from the Penguins to the Hurricanes on Thursday in exchange for Michael Bunting, Ville Koivunen, Vasily Ponomarev, Cruz Lucius, a conditional 2024 first-round pick and a conditional 2024 fifth-round pick, Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic reports. Smith hasn't seen any NHL action this season, but he has 56 points over 90 contests at the AHL level over the last two years. The Hurricanes' strong defense corps likely means he won't be receiving a call-up unless injuries occur. Over the previous three seasons, Smith gained 123 games of NHL experience, logging 47 points, so he may have some scoring upside from the blue line if he gets another look.
