The Attack received a second-round pick in 2025 (WSR), a second-round pick in 2028 (LDN), a third-round pick in 2026 (OTT), a fifth-round pick in 2027, a sixth-round pick in 2026, a seventh-round pick in 2025 (LDN), and a tenth-round pick in 2028. 

The Petes originally drafted the Anaheim Ducks prospect in the ninth round, 175th overall in the 2020 OHL Priority Selection. He spent just over three seasons with Petes with 14 goals and 21 assists for 35 points in 145 games. Smith won an OHL Championship with the Petes during the 2022-23 season.

The Anaheim Ducks drafted the defenseman in the fourth round, 97th overall, in the 2023 NHL Entry Draft.

On Jan. 2 last year, ahead of the trade deadline, Smith was traded along with Sam McCue to Owen Sound for forward Nico Addy, defenceman Martin Matejicek and a 2026 third-round pick.

With the Attack, Smith has played 42 games, tacking on six goals and 11 assists for 17 points. He served as the team’s captain during the 2024-25 campaign.

“Moving your captain is not a very easy thing to do but in this situation, I think it was necessary for Konnor to move forward and us to look to the future,” said Dale DeGray, Attack general maanger. “Konnor is a fantastic young man and did everything he could in the time he was here.  He was a tremendous leader and teammate. We would like to wish him well with the remainder of the season and in his pro career.”

Smith will take on the Petes when the Steelheads travel to Peterborough on Jan. 30.
