As for Nathan Smith, he wasn't going to sign with the Winnipeg Jets, who took him with the 91st overall pick in 2018. He's spent the last three seasons in the NCAA with Minnesota State University - Mankato. In 34 games this season, Smith has 49 points (18 G, 31 A), 39 penalty minutes, and is a +26.

Nathan Smith also goes with Little to Arizona for a 4th. Smith wasn't going to sign with Wpg. https://t.co/9zudjvzCBa— Darren Dreger (@DarrenDreger) March 21, 2022
