It doesn't take anything close to Andersson + 3rd to take Smith and only get a 6th back.

OTT needs to hit the cap floor, and their owner loves to take on players with high cap hits but low actual salaries. In this case, Smith's actual salary after he gets his signing bonus paid on 7/1, is only around 3 mil, vs his 4+ cap hit.

Smith possibly goes to OTT after 7/1 for a late 2021 draft pick straight up. Worst case scenario, the Rangers have to add a 4th or 5th to Smith in exchange for a 5th or 6th.

It probably does....no team wants him so you have to pay up...

You can either do Anisimov for Smith straight up, same cap and Anisimov is better.

Or you’d have to give a 2nd or a 3rd and medium prospect. So I think this is fair value. Maybe upgrade the 6th to a 4th or 5th

You both are on drugs 1 year cap dump ain’t giving up more than a 3rd

Value-wise, maybe, but every team wants to compete so why help a rival out of their cap problems for basically free? It does then Sens no good to get the Rangers into excellent shape without good return

Check out the Steve Mason trade....This is what it takes.

Ok so what you’re telling me is it take a bottom six guy a 4th and 7th easy take Haley a 4th and 7th even better

Armia is a whole lot better than Haley

Debatable
