To play devils advocate, I'd ask the following:
1. Would Holtby really accept a trade to ARZ? I would imagine they are one of the 7 teams he list as a "won't go to"
2. Why would ARZ want to acquire Holtby? Chayka came out and said part of the reason they traded Smith was because it made no sense to use so much of the teams internal cap on a goalie.
Don't get me wrong. Holtby is light years better than Smith, but if your ARZ and operating in one of the lowest salary pools, do you really want almost 10% of your cap going to a goalie?
