Craig Smith was one of the top forwards for the Nashville Predators this season. He nearly matched his career high goal scoring number in the 2014-15 season and was an integral part of the Predators’ success this year.
The 25-year-old winger is set to be a restricted free agent this summer but should be a top priority when it comes the Nashville and their future plans. Smith carried a $2 million cap hit a season ago while making $2 million along the way as well. The young winger may be looking for a slight pay bump this off season.
