Nathan Smith

Originally a third-round pick of the Jets in 2018, Smith didn't plan on signing with the team and thus would have been an unrestricted free agent this summer, so the team dealt him to Arizona, where he signed a two-year entry-level deal shortly thereafter before making his NHL debut in mid-April. He played in the Coyotes' final 10 games, posting two goals and two assists. Smith was one of the best NCAA players in the country in his final year with Minnesota St.-Mankato, tallying 19 goals and 50 points in 38 games. He's probably ticketed for a bottom-six role this coming year, although the perpetually-rebuilding Coyotes have no reason not to give him ample opportunity to earn a top-six job.
