2019-07-02	analysis		Smith saw action in 11 games for the Sabres last season, in which he tallied two goals, 18 shots and four hits while averaging just 10:39 of ice time. The winger figures to continue dividing time between the AHL and NHL this year, but will likely sit near the top of the shortlist of potential call-ups.
2019-07-02	update		Smith signed a two-year, $1.4 million contract with Buffalo on Tuesday.
2019-06-25	analysis		Smith, 24, is one of Buffalo's brighter prospects. Last season saw the left winger collect 58 points in 62 appearances with AHL Rochester, and as a result of his promising play in the minors, Smith should see more time at the NHL level in 2019-20. Expect both team and player to hash out a deal soon that will keep Smith in Buffalo for the foreseeable future.
2019-06-25	update		Smith was qualified by the Sabres on Tuesday.

2019-02-23	analysis		Smith had a decent showing at the NHL level, posting a pair of goals in 11 contests. He only averaged 10:39 of ice time per game, and saw his minutes gradually decrease over the past four outings. He'll head to Rochester where he has 41 points in as many games.
2019-02-23	update		Smith has been assigned to Rochester of the AHL.
2019-02-05	analysis		This is a big boost to Smith's value, seeing that Reinhart is third in Sabres scoring with 45 points, and Rodrigues has been hot posting seven points in his past nine contests. Buffalo is spreading out their scoring to create a more balanced attack. Smith earned a call up after netting 41 points in as many games in Rochester of the AHL, so now he can take the next step in his development, and lock
2019-02-05	update		Smith will play on a line with Evan Rodrigues and Sam Reinhart for Tuesday's game versus Minnesota, John Vogl of the Athletic reports.
2019-02-04	analysis		Smith's call-up comes after Johan Larsson (upper body) picked up an injury and is in doubt for Tuesday's clash with Minnesota. If he does suit up, the 23-year-old Smith figures to slot into a bottom-six role. In his previous stint in the NHL, the Iowa native notched one goals, eight shots and one hit in four games.
2019-02-04	update		Smith was recalled from AHL Rochester on Monday.
2019-01-11	analysis		Fresh off scoring his first career NHL goal in his last game, Smith finds himself getting the boot back down to the minors with Jack Eichel (upper body) set to make his much-anticipated return after missing the past three games. Smith meanwhile has been an offensive powerhouse with AHL Rochester this season, posting 29 points in 33 games.
2019-01-11	update		Smith was reassigned to AHL Rochester on Friday.
2019-01-09	analysis		The 24-year-old Smith played in his fourth career game, and picked up his first goal and point, which turned out to be the game-winning goal. He's playing on Buffalo's fourth line, but it's always encouraging to see a player being capable of chipping in some offense.
2019-01-09	update		Smith tallied his first NHL goal in Tuesday's victory over New Jersey.
2018-12-31	analysis		Smith has racked up 29 points in 33 games for the Americans, so his call-up shouldn't come as a surprise. Whether the winger slots into the lineup versus the Islanders on Monday remains to be seen, but he would likely bump Remi Elie up to the press box if he does play.
2018-12-31	update		Smith was promoted from AHL Rochester on Monday.
2018-09-22	analysis		Smith evaded a couple of defenders and flung the puck into the cage from a sharp angle. The American winger is on a one-year, two-way deal with the Sabres, so there will no hesitation to send him to AHL Rochester if he slows down in training camp.
2018-09-22	update		Smith registered a highlight-worthy goal in Friday's 5-3 preseason road loss to the Maple Leafs.
