Oilers acquire Jerred Smithson from Panthers | 04/03/2013 12:58 PM

Florida has traded Jerred Smithson to Edmonton for a fourth-round draft pick.

Impact

He recorded five points in 35 games for the Panthers this season.

News

With Kris Versteeg returning to aciton Friday night against Winnipeg, Jerred Smithson found himself in the press box.

Miami Herald

Impact

And barring any Florida injuries, that's where he will likely be for the foreseeable future. We trust Smithson was not a nig part of your fantasy strategy.

Jerred Smithson ends year-plus goal drought | 02/18/2013 10:34 AM

News

Jerred Smithson scored for the first time since Oct. 15, 2011, on Saturday night.

Miami Herald

Impact

The 34-year-old had spent a number of years with Nashville before heading to Florida last year for the playoff run. He'd like to find himself on the score sheet more often. "I want to score more, I would like to do it more, but they seem to have come few and far between. It felt good," Smithson said. The forward has only 37 goals in 556 NHL games, so he's obviously not anywhere near fantasy radars.
