We would have gotten no compensation if Hickey walked. Only 1st round picks get compensated.

No. It will be back to back cups

Coyotes retain 1.5 mil of Smith's salary

Not enough salary retention to justify moving hickey but I think it's a decent framework.

Yotes have a ton of prospects, I could see them including a prospect or two in that kind of framework.

I would rather have Smith over Fleury. As long as the price is right that is.

It was a possibility for sure.

Treliving went from "a deal will definitely be happening" to Hickey staying at BU. Writing was on the wall to all but the most hopeful.

Nope. You're off base. Teams don't pay other teams to take good players from them.

I hope that you are right. I like Treliving and I think that he has done good work but the goalie situation has been abstract.

Wow. Smith might not be elite but I'm surprised at how many people here dislike him

I need one more pick thrown in there from AZ if I'm Tre, tbh.

How about getting yourself some green tea and a quaalude.

Such a disparity in Smith's value.

'The Coyotes should be paying the Flames for taking him off their hands' vs. 'Trade D. Hamilton'

It's irrational and unfounded, not to mention ageist.

The only person I've seen suggest Hamilton was that delusional Coyotes fan who was then mocked by other Coyotes fans.
