If we're trading stuff, it'll be small potato I think.
Smith heading out in a hockey trade.
Reading the Athletic's updated trade board. Some ideas:
https://theathletic.com/5208791/2024/01 ... markstrom/
Smith is on the list (as is Jake) - Not sure of Smith's NTC and he has 1 year remaining, but just spittin' here...
Smith ($5m) for Jordan Eberle (5.5m)
Send Smith the the Vegas rivals! only half a mil difference and Eberle is UFA after the season
Smith for Monahan ($1.9)
Would be a dream due to Monahan's super low cap hit and he is UFA after the season
Smith for Chris Tanev ($4.5) defense
Not sure this would work for Calgary, Tanev UFA after season
Smith+ for Trevor Zegas ($5.5m)
Instead of using Jake, Zegras signed through 2026
DuClair is another option with a $3mil cap hit + UFA at season's end, but I feel like he is going for a draft pick - 2nd or 3rd - not that the other UFAs could that cheap as well but would be nice to just rid the Pens of Smith's cap hit.
