2025 Fantasy Outlook

There was no outlook written for Jackson Smith in 2025. Check out the latest news below for more on his current fantasy value.

Smith was the 14th overall pick by Columbus in the 2025 NHL Entry Draft on Friday.

ANALYSIS
Smith has good skills and a booming shot, and he's strong in transition. But his defensive routes and decisions still need a lot of work, and his hockey sense is a touch underwhelming. Still, most of these things are solvable with the developmental supports in an NHL system. Smith's offense isn't likely to translate into NHL production, even if it teases every once in a while. But with his mobility and smooth skating, Smith will likely develop into a prototypical 3-4 defender who logs a lot of ice time and spends a long time in the league.
