Smith has Limited NTC &amp; doubtful OTT is on it.

Not enough dollars for Karlsson or Panarin.
Karlsson will get at least Doughty's AAV of 11 so say 7 @ 11million per.
Panarin will get 11 per at 7 from FLA , so NYR may have to outbid them (FLA has NO state tax &amp; NY &amp; NYC have state &amp; local taxes) So say 5 or even 7 @ 12.375 per.

Fox might be had for NYR 2nd rd pick (from TB #58 if they get bounced by COLUMBUS, maybe they take a 3rd &amp; Sean Day as a project) ) He'll sign his ELC with the NYR (or dare i say NYI)if they get his rights.</div></div>

Exact dollar amounts and term is pretty much impossible to predict until it happens. I can see Shatty potentially rejecting, but not Smith. He would be a top 4 guy there.

Thread: Panarin big dman trade
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>rja</b></div><div>Smith has a M-NTC, where he can pick 10 teams he can be traded to. Granted, if he wants to play a full season at defense and try to play for another contract at the NHL level, he may waive to go to more than 10 teams. However, I have a hard time seeing him waive to be shipped to OTT. If you want to move Smith, you have to find a team that has some potential to compete (at the very least on paper), and needs to fill spots on defense. I would think of teams such as Anaheim, Carolina (if they move of their defensemen for assets), maybe Minnesota (if Spurgeon is moved), and possibly St. Louis. I think it's also more likely he's traded for another veteran who needs new scenery. I am thinking Smith for Eaves; NYR save 1.2 this coming season, Eaves comes off the books then, and Anaheim is given another veteran on the blue line, and gives space for their youth to come up. Point is, the Smith to Ottawa proposal should stop being offered.</div></div>

Solid point but the Smith thing was hypothetical. I do still think he holds some value for a team desperate on D. I could potentially see him waiving for Ottawa, if they're even on his list. He would be a top 4 dman there, so you never know
