Ty Smith To Remain With - Carolina Sports News

While Ty Smith was part of Thursday’s Jake Guentzel trade, he won’t actually be going anywhere. Inside AHL Hockey’s Tony Androckitis reports (Twitter link) that Smith will remain with AHL Wilkes-Barre/Scranton for the rest of the season. The Hurricanes don’t have an AHL affiliate so rather than try to put Smith in another organization on loan, they’ll keep him where he is for the stretch run unless Carolina has to recall him due to injuries. Smith is a restricted free agent this summer and has 32 points in 51 minor league contests this season.
