Sunrise, FL – The Florida Panthers acquired center Jerred round draft pick.
The 33-year-old Smithson has registered one goal and five points in 53 games this season.

Smithson boasts a win percentage greater than 55 percent on draws for his career.
The British Columbia native has totaled 36 goals and 53 assists in 527 NHL games with Los Angeles and Nashville.
