Brendan is the older brother of current Florida Panthers winger Reilly Smith and is a six-year NHL veteran.<\/p>\n<p>The Rangers were in the running for Kevin Shattenkirk, but ultimately missed out and moved quickly on the pending unrestricted free agent Smith.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">OFFICIAL: <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/NYR?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#NYR<\/a> acquired defenseman Brendan Smith from DET in exchange for the NYR&#39;s own 3rd rd pick in 2017 and OTT&#39;s 2nd rd pick in 2018. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/CG7lZQVjAw\">pic.twitter.com\/CG7lZQVjAw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; x &#8211; New York Rangers (@NYRangers) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/NYRangers\/status\/836639627360501761?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">February 28, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Smith, 28, was a former 27th overall pick by the Red Wings in the 2007 NHL Draft, who attended the University of Wisconsin and debuted with Detroit in the 2011-12 season. Smith has spent his entire career with the Red Wings and has tallied 15 goals and 52 assists in 291 career games.<\/p>\n<p>This season, Smith has two goals and three assists in 33 games, but provides a strong defensive presence and could partner with someone like Nick Holden or Marc Staal.<\/p>\n<p>Smith was negotiating a contract extension with the Red Wings, but ultimately could not come to terms and was moved quickly to the highest bidder. The Red Wings get great value for a player who does not score much and opens up more playing time for their young defenseman in Ryan Sproul and Xavier Oulett.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, the Rangers have acquired a defenseman in Smith, who brings 27 games of playoff experience, veteran leadership, and energy to a slightly older defense in New York. The Rangers will likely seek to re-kindle those extension talks, but ultimately Smith could be poised to hit free agency for the first time in his career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On Tuesday afternoon, the New York Rangers swung a trade for defenseman Brendan Smith of the Detroit Red Wings, in&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":636884,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[703638946,703639564],"tags":[2123732,66973,109246,4205879],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.2 (Yoast SEO v22.2) -
